other than losing money on the paper, I.e the OMV and COE depreciates linearly each year, also need to consider the value you can get for your car body when you sell. Typically, Toyotas represents the best value no matter what model, otherwise luxury cars like BMW and Mercedes are also good retainer...

well said wkwoods, at the end of the day, you will need to work for the type of lifestyle you want.

If you cannot afford to eat at restaurants, eat at hawker centres, the food really do taste bett...
