Nice Car or watches?

i used to have the same mentality..after a while, i thought...what the heck...life is short, indulge if u can

Agreed with u provided you hv thick pocket...

Guys,

Whenever I think of changing my ride, I keep measuring the depreciation against another watch that I can own. Hence I have constantly scraped the idea of getting a nicer car.

Do any of you have this dilemma? Example a Merc has around 15-20 k depreciation per year dependent on how long you hold onto it.

Thoughts?

Normal lah, we all think of things relative to others especially when closer to our hearts.

I use to relate everything to cigars.
For example one Daytona is one full years supply of premium cuban cigars.
But i soon depart from viewing it that way, especially with valuable luxury watches.

I differentiate between consumables and durables.

Car and cigar considered consumables
Watches considered durables.

When i buy a car i just hv to decide how much i'm willing to write off
When i buy cigars, i treat it like food and petrol.
When i buy watches, i treat it like property.
First must like and willing to keep, next must be within budget and finally must hv fair value.

Haha

Good school of thoughts bro
