Hairy Posted August 31, 2023 Share 14 hours ago, Underachiever said: Hairy, actually they do. In our portion of the estate (100 houses) we live in there is at least 10 new Raptor/Cruisers for the normal okes. Then the outlier with 2x Lambo's, New Defender and Rangie, Lambo Urus, Cruiser and the overpriced Jeep bakkie. And the bottle blonde of course!! Plenty of 911's and AMG Mercs. Another Ferrari or 2. Crazy stuff. I should add, I have no cooking clue where the East Rand is 😂 Underachiever, OVERDRIVE, Mtree and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to organize a hybrid home office situation, but the company is not keen #livinginthedarkagestheyare Already on my second car since starting this job, but that’s another story 😳 Dear Sir Have you seen my post count for 2022-2023 .... you may be very suprised at how few there are. 2021-2022 was also a drastic reduction over the previous year SwissVan, Mtree and Eddy Gordo 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often commute, and for a lot of errands etc use the bike. When working ‘corporate’ I car pooled with three others, for the relative effort the benefits far exceeded any inconvenience.

Shebeen Posted August 31, 2023 Share 12 hours ago, sirmoun10goat said: Cars may be a depreciating asset, but also an asset that can be enjoyed, if you enjoy driving and road trips. I loved having a hot hatch with a B&O sound system and flappy paddle gear box. A house is an asset, but do you need a 5 bedroom house for you and the missus? That’s also a liability. Yes, the value of the property may go up, but you pay more taxes, water and electricity, more insurance, higher fees for the estate where your house is, more money on maintenance, more domestic workers to keep things in check…so your capital growth is offset by these expenses. And then these rooms are empty most of the time, so you derive no benefit from that. So you need your Vida coffee everyday, or is a nespresso good enough? Water is cheap, maybe drink more water. To each their own, live and let live I think a better analogy is do you need a holiday house?
