During our discussion he told me an interesting finding about the trend of owning big and expensive car in Europe and Asia. He gave example of Thailand and Singapore; I think this includes Malaysia too. People in that country put car as their first priority before house, vacation, family and education. They rather drive a big car rather than buy an apartment first. Car is the symbol of status.
Unlike in Europe, car is just a transportation to bring them from one place to the other. I have this mentality too. That is why I am still driving my old junk. :P For the European, house, family, vacation and education come first before owning a big and expensive car. That is why you see more books in a European home compared to an Asian home.
Hmm…very interesting findings. I think I changed my mind changing to a better car. I wanna spend my money going for a vacation first lar. :)
