Success means Singaporean,all be able to afford cars?

[glarerder]

How come most cannot afford?

We have attain success with just a mindset change. In sg, there is no lifetime car ownership. We each are given a COE to drive the car of our choice for 10 years through successful bids. That's it. So actually if you consider that an ownership, actually everyone with a valid driving license can own a car anytime with drivelah, go get, bluesg, tribecar. We own for the duration of the time we rent it, similar to buying a car with coe.

So yes, many can afford car in sg. Buy or rent, it's actually rent. Similar to hdb, for a finite time.

Having a car increases your quality of life

Especially in Singapore, the weather and public transport sucks

They tout the public transport as world class. It doesn't apply to buses which is pathetic. Inconsistent and always late unlike Japan. The trains are much more consistent but over crowded even though it's weekend. Worst is that some people says the PT is losing money. Does that point to inefficient processes and jlb top? Oh wait..

think successful is no debt and loans.. anytime can tell the boss i quit..

Cars are affordable if u willing to part the $ to drive.

unless more than 500k car then consider success.

On top of that have cars, have houses and can travel often

"Everyone has a car. I have one, my wife has one. We are professionals, we need to travel."

First time I hear success means have car. Anyway you have a very low threshold for what is considered successful if you think everyone is successful.

only in singapore we have this lame mindset

In other countries, a janitor drives his car 50 miles to sweep the floors at his workplace

He consider successful?

...

Only in sg has the price of car been so artificially and obscenly high that people thot owning one is high ses and wealthy

Honestly, i m affected as well...

Public transport (non peak hour) is comfortable.

successful means fully-paid house, no debts

car is not really essential, if you have the cash, just book grab or taxi without bothering about surge prices, dont even need to drive, let other drive for you, relax in the vehicle

paying full for house is the dumbest move , why not invest the money ? the returns can service the mortgage , debt free is over rated tbh

Because of quota. If coe is $100k and every Singaporean earns $100k a month, the coe will just jump to $1 million. And it will keep jumping until if let’s say the quota is 400, only the top 400 bidders will get it, even if coe becomes $10 million
