Most of us belong to the "sandwich class" who don't qualify for Govt handouts, but have to handout to aged parents and children who aren't old enough to work.Dun wallory...got Annual Pineapple Charity Show to help us mah...Heng ong Huat lah
They are a sucker if they want a new car. And also don't forget the interest on the car loan. Easily add another $40K over 5 years.Having a car is the worse thing to happen in Sinkapor... It's only a 10yrs lease from the gahmen n you have to pay your yearly road tax n insurance, not forgetting servicing the car n also replacement of wear n that..Just an ordinary Mazda 3 already cost $140k+ OTR for a 10yrs lease...
There is a price to be paid for convenience, comfort and luxury. As long as the buyer is able to afford a car, why refer to him/her as a sucker? It is those who cannot afford a car who will be the first to jump in if they suddenly receive a windfall.They are a sucker if they want a new car. And also don't forget the interest on the car loan.

That’s a fair point. If I have $1 million in cash, what’s $200k on a car?There is a price to be paid for convenience, comfort and luxury.

Price to be paid for convenience? It depends on what price u r talking about. Price created by the PAP? then u r 100% an educatedly stupid sucker. Go pay ur COE. PAP loves you.There is a price to be paid for convenience, comfort and luxury. As long as the buyer is able to afford a car, why refer to him/her as a sucker?

You are 100% correct. It all boils down to affordability. If a person can afford a good class bungalow and a luxurious car in S'pore, wouldn't he be considered foolish to continue living in a 3-room HDB unit and relying on the train and bus?That’s a fair point. If I have $1 million in cash, what’s $200k on a car?
If a person who is able to afford a car continues to deny himself the convenience, comfort and pleasure of owning one, then he may be considered "stupid". It is like living as a pauper when a person is a millionaire; that is stupidity.Price to be paid for convenience? It depends on what price u r talking about.

20% on your holding....no joke if u cum form CPA backgroundThat’s a fair point. If I have $1 million in cash, what’s $200k on a car?
Must do it with your budget lohEverything in life must balance right?
You save save save until u miss out on all the life experiences then u die. Lol… wtf.
Let me give an example. If you think you wanna save and not go traveling when you are young, and thought you can travel when u are retired, reality is you can’t even walk far or withstand the rigors of it when u are old.
The golden rule of not going into financial ruin is to spend within our means. If a car costs us more than $300K, but we have $5 million to our name, then why not for 10 years of sheer driving pleasure, convenience, comfort, status and family bonding on road trips?Must do it with your budget loh
5m is out of reach for many many, if u minus off the liability, outstanding loans and reflect real market liquid value in one balance sheet.The golden rule of not going into financial ruin is to spend within our means.

Whether one is a billionaire or salaried worker, spend within our means. For the 11% of current car owners in SG, please continue to buy a new car when the COE expires on your existing one, if you are not a marginal car owner. For those who aspire to join this group, don't borrow beyond your means just to keep up with the Joneses.5m is out of reach for many, if u minus off the liability, outstanding loans and reflect real market liquid value in one balance sheet.
The net wealth is really dependent on the prevailing market condition when liquidate the COndo an share, real cash position is only 300k
Good 95% will not have 5m idle cash
Maybe Boss John can be qualified to answer this question

You need to earn like a REAL CEO to afford a luxury car in S'pore.U look @The numbers of new Mercs, Bimmers, Teslas n Audis on the road in Sinkapor is quite frightening..Every car is @ least 250k. People are paying @least 2-3k monthly installments for their cars.. It means u have to earn monthly 10k n above to sustain the lifestyle...
