Only A Drunken Sailors Would Buy A Car Before A House by laiperi: 7:29am On May 29, 2021 |
My favorite part of this article is that any rational person would buy a car before buying a house. Could that be Nigeria?

[s] laiperi:[/s] It's stupîd to have this mentality and to generalize like this. Buying a car before a land or a house is not wasteful. Somehow, a car can be an asset and a necessity sometimes if you know what you're doing and you have a good need for it. I bought a car before a land and I'm currently developing a house on it. If you live in Lagos for example with your family, let's say you, your wife and 2-3 kids, will not having a car because you want to have a house first reasonable? How can I continue to suffer, have my wife and kids take public transports and okada around when I can afford a car? 1 Like 1 Share |

This write-up has no definite direction. Sane humans buy car when they need one. Not when they've got a house of their own. |

Stupid generalisation. In other words; poor man, poor sense. |

Let me first drag you out of ignorance and support your point at the same time. The writer was on old norm and the difference between an asset like a house that appreciate and a show off luxury car that depreciate. Of course in today's tight schedule, you need a basic car to make money, take your family to school and work. Not a luxury car! In that case a car becomes an asset. Indeed, you need that basic or used car to pave the way in order to build your house. Do you need a Rose Royce, Cadillac or Jaguar to get to work? Please use some common sense. In the days the writer was referring to, Volkswagen beetle was the first car and pride of youth with girls running after you for a ride! Sisi come ride my Volks. What is the wish of first car for Youths today? Benz! Even without a job not to mention a house. You should have read the article if you did not understand the quote. OsusTroller: |

laiperi:If you're not mentally unstable or in a vegetative state, you'd see clearly that OP didn't talk about car types persay. He or she was just trying to give relevance to a land or a house over a car. |

Obviously you cannot read. No more attention from me. Deal with your types. OsusTroller: |
