Yattokame 4th Gear July 12, 2013 Share July 12, 2013 Bro.... family living in poverty but you started playing cars from young? swift1.0/sunny1.6/sonata2.0/156JTS/Brera3.2V6/MINI cooper S cabrio/Grand Picasso/S300L Assuming you every year change car, so you're 35 now, and first car Swift 1.0 bought at age 28 when family already out of poverty liao? What is your idea of poverty? Living in HDB? told my story in another thread. we were renting a room from my uncle until I was about 7 when my dad (odd job labourer) got a 3 rm flat. my mum is a homemaker. everything at home is hands-me-down from other relatives. even our clothes. lunch was plain rice with an egg or two slices of luncheon meat. from sec sch onwards I taught tuition. in JC taught 4 days a week, making 1k a mth. had to get a local scholarship since dad no CPF for me and my sis' uni education. First day of uni I drove to school in my swift - a goal I had set out for myself. In uni continue tuition at least 20hrs a week. worked very hard and studied very hard. by the time I graduated I was driving my 3rd car. the car helps in my tuition becos I can travel around much easier (esp landed estates) and hence taking up more assignments. I started trading on the US market at 21 and made some good gains; by the time i graduated I bought my first house - a condo, during the SARS period. In short, I was lucky, but I worked damn hard for it too. My sis too; she's posted overseas and making good money. hard work DOES pay off. but honestly luck must also play its part.

Bro, i am much older than you so it's not surprising even if i "do" better since i have been at it for longer. The table wiper job sucks big time. The gold rolexes arent very expensive anyway. So nothing worthwhile for you working towards being a table wiper with gold rolexes. Really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyrios Turbocharged July 12, 2013 Share July 12, 2013 (edited) Because a luxury watch is a luxury product. It is a want, not a need. Go into debt for a "want"? That's silly. Unless you are saying you are in some kind of business where your image is of utmost importance, and you NEED to wear a Rolex (or drive S Class, etc) to get you some business. So it is like going into debt to make more money - this I agree. But just to show off and flash around? No. "like going into debt to make more money - this I agree..".......not arguing over who is right or wrong..but nowadays..that job interview ... that first date...all require some show of '$force$'..not just businessmen needs to flaunt. It is how society has evolved.. ..so it could be the case of ".......going into debt to make more money"...especially when you talk about job interviews and snagging that well paying job....what will the employer or prospective father in law think when he sees one wearing a cheap watch? Like the real experience of my friend...he said how do you expect the gal/father in law to entrust her future happiness to you when all you have to show for is a casio? Not advocating debt here but if can afford slightly more a bit please do it.. Edited July 12, 2013 by Kyrios ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
