Freiburger: Is there any particular yardstick for measuring success?

brilapluz:
yap..so many

brilapluz: ..buying a car only gets U more expenses(car fuel,car maintenance,etc)..if U need 2 get a car as a necessity,den U must have d resources(an avenue dat generates income outside ur usual job) 2 meet a car's everyday challenges inspite of its obvious comfort!

Getting a car is as good as being alive, 2me is not a way of measuring success, its just wat u should ve. To those who say its a liability, it depend on d state of Ur car , d only time mechanics touches my car is wen I need to service d engine or tire change

lonelydora: Buying a car is a neccesity. Buying a certain type of car(Performance Vehilces) is a sign of success.

gbokukueba:

Poverty thinking...

Freiburger:
Mind helping me out with some of them?

coonz: You guys are talking of car maintenance like its one big deal. What kind of car are you driving? Well, my car hasn't been to the mechanic since january. Car can be a necessity and also a luxury, it depends on the type you own. The yellow buses in Lagos is alone a reason for one to own a car, if you don't have one, what's your reason?? Its either you love the treatment in the yellow buses or you can't afford one presently.

ugees: A car is a necessity. All those saying it is a liability should get the means going first, get the car and they will wonder how they stayed without one. Maintenance? Bull talk. Get a good car, you won't need to worry about that....infact getting a good car should be a goal when one wants to get a car. Some people with cars may say this and that but ask them to park their vehicles and use public transport, then you will hear a different story.

DEGREE2466: it is not necessary a sign of success but it counts. for me my first achievement na toyota venza. lol

AnyiWa: It depends on the mindset of people.Some people consider it an achievement but to me,its not

Emmadani: I beta buy a land n gain extra money 4rm d sale than buy a car n waste/loss extra money on it...U dnt need a car when u are nof financially stable...Sum pple go just win lotto/baba ijebu carry d money buy car in the next 2 month landlord go kum knock at ur door...I beta build ma huz n ride a bicycle or keke napep than buy a car worth millions then continue to pay huz rent...If ma girlfrnd no like am like dat make she go sleep joor,galz to like car.

okpara ugo: Childish question.

Is owning 3 cars a sign of success NO!!!

Building a house isnt even a sign of success. One can still do all these things yet without constant cashflow and he isnt successful at least financially.
