Old car, no debt stress

"What car do you drive now?"

This question often comes up whenever we meet old friends.

The origin of this question is unknown.

Some people even look down on those who own old or used cars.

Meanwhile, those who drive new or advanced cars like EVs proudly display their car keys on the restaurant table.

Is it true that the type of car someone owns is a measure of their success and wealth?

This belief drives some so-called influencers to go to great lengths, even deceiving others, to show that they can afford luxury cars.

Such madness must be stopped because it can lead society into a chasm of poverty.

Buy a car according to your own financial capability, not to show off to relatives and friends as if you have now succeeded.

What’s the point of owning a luxury car if you can't sleep peacefully thinking about the burden of debt and maintenance costs?

Meanwhile, those who own cheap, used, or old cars live more peacefully because their debt has been paid off, or their monthly installments and maintenance costs are not high.

Besides, no matter how beautiful or advanced a new car is, it will eventually become scrap metal.
