An expensive car means you are successful?

[Struvytes]

owning oneself a car and still contributing to parents financially is perhaps a priviledge by some of us to our parents...

i have heard many feedback from parents that their child/children unable to contribute anything to their parents coz reasons given eg. high cost of living, pay house, pay car. money no enuff...

however i have realised that many parents forego luxury in their times just to raise their ungrateful child/children...

To each his own.

 

I read this from a Blog :"I believe that people only want to take advice from those more successful than they are. One way to demonstrate to others that you are more successful is purchasing a luxury car such as a BMW or Mercedes."

 

What do you think? stereotyping?

[Throttle2]

[Galantspeedz]

if he can do it within $2k, he should be proud. Give him credit

[Throttle2]

Sorry friendstar, i dont follow toyotas.

But i guess why not. technically i remember mark X got more horses. Cant remember torque figures though.

[Jrage]

no need in the showroom to see ppl reaction based on your car...

 

When you on the road with a picanto vs on the road with a luxury car, you can feel the different treatment from the drivers..

[Throttle2]

heh heh, many of my friends also can do it.

 

and they do it with better cars like BMW325ci, CLK240 cabrio, SLK200....hahah

Bro. the main point here is not how much low income you have but still can own a car and got saving. The main point is we all have been using parent $$ for studying and now, even we are working, we still depend on our parent on this kinda thing. This is the shameful part.

FYI, even 1.5K per month can own a car. How? ask your daddy and mommy loh. And it is not proud at all. Instead, i feel sorry for their parent.

There are many parents that pamper their children. Because only one or 2 in the family. Not like old times, 8 to 10 in the family.

[Eaststargrouper]

nope

this is the truth.

 

would u listen to a bmw 7 series guy for investment tips or a picanto guy.

 

can't help it.

 

According to your value and logic, people who take public transport to go to work can never give better financial advice than someone who drives a small car because the former don

[Galantspeedz]

bopian they lucky mah, i must strive to be like their parents.

 

but then again too much money also no good. They be too dependent and wun work hard.

[Hub_n_mona]

[Galantspeedz]
