I go start thread in property column for this.  Enye treats property as consumption rather than investment.  I will show my modeling in a different way.

Fortunately I have been driving my previous companies vehicle for a decade.

And after I quit, I have to take public transport for a couple of months before I bought my own car.

 

During these 2 months, I kana the July 15 mrt major breakdown and I met many siao ppl and rude ppl in public transport. I lost my personal space and time taken to reach a location is longer,several of my favorite places with I used to go became like a mission impossible by public transport.

 

And I realised that a car is a must for me. Even if I have to drive the lousiest car in sg

Durian trees everywhere 

[Ingenius]

This is the worst time to enter market for property as the buyer will defintely see the property go through a drastic depreciation in the next few years due to economic downturn. Good luck. Lol.

Many cabs & public transport dun allow durian on board. The other day after having the durian feast , I wanted to board a taxi . The driver rejected me saying I smell like a durians .

to answer this question, it depends on individual. for some people, is necessary. for example, for groceries shopping, buying electronics, fetching kids, elderly people like parents, jobs like salesman, delivery, car will then be necessary. for me i think its necessary because i need car when i buy alot of groceries which tend to be very heavy, and i buy those electronics, and fetching parents etc, but the price is too expensive,coe is too expensive to begin with. which makes the total car price very high.but nevermind la, i wait for coe drop from 50k to 10k like that then i buy, no hurries.

Do we really need a car in Singapore?

 

Do we really really need COE and ERP???

[Latio2005A]

Do we really need a car?

 

No because we cannot afford to own one.

 

Yes and it all boils down to money, lots of money. If you have money, this question is moot.

And there are always other alternatives.

No money to own one, just got to make do and spend more time on the road. Won't die.

And if you need to spend more time on the road, and could not afford a car, it just go to show that your time is less worthy. Opportunity cost.

 

And to the rich, every minute is precious that's why they can afford cars, expensive ones at it.

There it goes, need or do not need a car?

One way to look at it is whether your time is more precious and valuable. The trade offs, and to many, it is not always rational or proportional.

What a conundrum. I can own a car, it doesn't meant my time is more valuable. It is so irrational, contrary to my earlier statement.

 

Seepay luan. confused, totally, when it comes to car ownership.

See, I've stopped eating chocolate biscuits.

 

And I bet I used to eat more than anyone else on this board.

 

All luxuries can be done without.

 

And a car and chocolate biscuits are luxuries.

 

Faster fiber internet speeds are another luxury, unless you're a gamer I suppose.

My internet speed is 1 Mb/sec and it's fine for everything I do.
