Topic: Why must you used such money to purchased a car? - page 3. (Read 618 times)

I also believe that this story is not true, because how can your friend get that can of money and you are telling him to come and invest in bitcoin, you know he won't accept your opinion because he will see it is a waste of time he has this can of money and you are telling him should not buy expensive things, and I am very sure he has more than that 28M in spend to purchase a car, because someone can't just spend 28M to buy a car if he didn't have another way to generate income, and if this is a true story because you said you broke up with him because of the car he bought for himself and he didn't follow your advice to invest in bitcoin, you can go back to his side because he didn't say you should stop friendly him you can tell him you are just joking because you can't stop someone with is on money to following your advice sometimes, i didn't see anything wrong with that will make you stop friendship with him, anyone as is on chose since is not your money him use to purchase the car is good.

First things first; if it  is your money then you have the rights to do whatever you like on it. Spending $28million indeed is a huge money for a car however that's him. If it is our viewpoint of just investing that money to assets then that's for us to do and we cannot tell other people or dictate them on what to do. The car he bought would at least maintain half of its value for years and within that interval, he could change his mind and redirect to investments if ever he will have the initiative to do so; half of it is still a big amount and can still be put into assets and that nothing could change the fact that he experienced enjoying that amount even if it depreciates. Hard to really tell but maybe if we are in hid position then we might also do the same thing; it just happened that we are not on his shoes which is why we are comparing our 'what ifs' to him, despite of having or living on different situations.
Yes unless the boy has no money left on him and he still purchased that car, which is not practical, is the only instance wherein OP as a friend could give an advice or give another perspective about the boy's circumstances. But if it is not, then let's just allow the boy to enjoy things on his own and to let him learn the importance of money on his own way by not dictating him on what to do; that's how friendship works.

I stated it in the topic that the boy was 20 years old which I know that he is not working yet but he came from a wealthy family and his father is among the wealthy people in the environment which I believe either his father bought the car for him or his elder brothers because, I can still remember he told me that they asked him to make the car of his choice and  it will be deliver to him direct from the company that are into such product of car and he demanded for his car of his choice. The boy parents are very rich and the boy parents want the boy to become a good person in the future that made them to asked the  boy what did him want for them to buy as a gift, but the boy mentioned Rolls Royce that worth $28 millions despite the advice I gave to him to collect the money and use it to establish a business but he ignore my advice.

If you have such mind to your friend show that you are a bad friend because, a time will come when that your wealthy friend will know that you are after his money not a genuine friendship with him or her.

Yep, there's an idiom "Birds of the same feather flock together" even though it sounds like a discrimination, but that's the reality in this life.

When the rich talk about business and how to expand a business, the poor don't have ability to give a good answer because he think about how to get a better job.
When the poor inviting the rich to come into his house to eat together, the rich don't like the food because it's something that he feel the food isn't good for his health.

So many thing aren't equal, such relationship will be end very soon.

His money - he has the right to use it as he sees fit, without asking for your opinion.
How do you know what he buys the car for? Maybe it's for a collection? And for him it may be an investment too - we don't know what is on the market of rare cars. And to lose a friend for such a reason is silly to me. He has the right to do any actions that do not harm others, and may not correspond to their/your worldview. That's normal ! We are all different, we have different views on life....

PS well and the main thing - if he has money to buy a car with such a price, I think he knows how to invest and earn

Exactly, his friend came to a very rich family, imagine at the age of 20, He already have a car worth 28M?? That means he has a lot of money, and when it comes to investment, I don't think he will stuck on that mindset of purchasing luxury car rather than putting his money in some investment, for sure there are businesses coming from his family, maybe because right now he is still enjoying the things he gets but for sure he has his own plan in his life.

While your friend's wealth and business savvy are undeniably impressive, I can't help but feel a tinge of concern. $28 million is a hefty chunk of change, even for someone with Scrooge McDuck-sized pockets. While they might have other, invisible investments cushioning the blow, the sheer audacity of the purchase throws financial caution to the wind. It's a gamble, albeit a calculated one, and the potential for future repercussions shouldn't be ignored.

Ultimately, it's their life, their money, their dream. And who am I to judge? Maybe this is their "YOLO" moment, a once-in-a-lifetime splurge that fuels their future endeavors with newfound confidence. Maybe the joy of owning that car, the sheer audacity of it all, is its own reward, a priceless experience that transcends any financial logic.

The parents of the person you are referring to are rich. 28 million dollars for the car; we know that amount is not a joke. Here in our currency, that is worth billions, and I can no longer work and will only take care of business.

If I were the one who had a friend like that and took me with him to buy a car, I would be speechless if he paid for it in cash. I would always be surprised, or really surprised. I can't do anything because it's his money, and it's up to him whether to squander the money or not.

Why bother to regret what your friend did if he has the money to buy whatever car he wanted.

If you're regretting the fact that if it was you who has $28M and you would've spent it on bitcoin and Ethereum, then start earning your own money so you can afford what your friend can afford. It looks like you're jealous about your friend's new car while you're in your room spouting words about him that he should've done better, like giving you that $28M and invested it in cryptocurrency.

OP, stop judging people and sticking your nose into other people's wallets. Besides, you, the one who participates in a subscription company for a few dollars, refuse friends who can afford to buy a car for a huge amount. Are you serious? Or maybe (even if we consider that the post is real) this friend refused your presence in his life?
As a result, you shouldn’t count other people’s money; look only at your life and improve it; what others do is not your problem.

If your friend afford to have a $28 million amount, for sure he could be rich enough to buy a luxury car. It is his own money to spend, he has the right what to do and to decide with his money in the first place, you can give advice but if he does not listen, that's totally fine, why cut off your relationship with your friend? If you think personally that is wrong then you can be focused on yourself, you have already given him a piece of advice which is already enough. He might have other investments as well cause there are a lot of options for your money in an investment, no need to be biased and always choose Bitcoin, he reached $28M so fur sure he has a lot of money sources.

Well said. It's funny when some people make threads in this forum after their so-called advice were not considered. This is my second time reading a thread where the OP got disappointed, got into an argument, or canceled their friendships. It's a shame, these people need to understand that they are not giving a piece of advice but rather an order for their friends to follow or they will get mad and cancel their friendly relationships.

But I guess this is a made-up story by OP. I made a quick search on the most expensive cars for the year 2023 and here are the results.

First result.



The second result is from motor1.com. This seems to be the latest since Boat Tail has increased to $28 million but is no longer the most expensive. So according to an article, the Boat Tail has been produced only 3 times and is reserved for billionaires. So it's either OP has a billionaire former friend or OP is just creating fantasy stories. I doubt someone has a billionaire friend but is making an effort to apply to the merit sources in this forum to earn merits and join a campaign. Otherwise, I'll just stay in this forum having fun and won't bother applying for merits, it'll come naturally anyway.

Something is very off with the price, although the most expensive car in the world does cost a very similar amount of money, and with taxes in various countries, it could cost $28 million. To be honest, if someone has so much money, I don't think this person is buying a car to reduce transport cost. I also don't think this person needs to invest because that's well enough for one's whole life, and this money could be used to do something good for society. I agree with fellow forum members who suspect the story is made up.
As for purchasing a car in general, I think people should avoid doing that even when they can afford it because cars hurt the environment and take up too much space on the streets.

@OP you forget if no one will tell someone a way to success or their' net worth, if he can able to buy a luxurious car, it means he's an old money or really successful. Since he can afford to buy such car, he don't need financial advice, he might be an OG who owns 1K BTC and you will never know it.

Moreover, not everyone want to invest in BTC or ETH, you shouldn't control someone else decision in their life.

Life doesn't revolve around crypto, it's not a must to invest in crypto as we have people that have done well in it and also do badly, they lost everything in crypto, you can dispute that. We have people that are not crypto freaks from day and today, they are bastardly rich from their business, so when you want to make reference to investment, do it on a wider scale and not limited to crypto only.

One of the mistakes many young lads make is because they want to be respected by the society, want to impress and feel among but do I really blame them? No. The society mentality has changed where hard work doesn't pay anymore, people want to see you with worthy things before they respect you, the girls want to see the boys in quality life before they hang out with them, the life has changed from trying to impress the families and make them proud to impressing and oppressing people of not achieving what they have and majorly this happen around teenage because they know no shit about life. Give that boy 10 years from now, he will regret the mistake he has made today.

He is still my friend even though he doesn't invest his money in anything, including Bitcoin. It was his decision not to invest and we have to accept it. The important thing is that we have given him advice and it is up to him to accept or reject it.

We also can't force him to follow the advice we give. Investing or not is each person's choice and we must respect it. Maybe they think that they don't need any investment yet. And they still want to have fun with their money by buying many things they like.

You shouldn't have to separate from him just because you have different opinions. Having different opinions in friendships is normal and does not need to damage our friendships. It's better for you to immediately apologize to him and forget about your problems with him. Once again, the issue of investing is each person's choice. You can't force him to invest in Bitcoin.

Hey Op, have you ever heard about "richkid", everyone does not always have the same life. There are even newly born children who have received billions of dollars of inheritance, and the contrast including those who were born without a house or clothes to wear. Life inherently has countless different nuances. You may think it's good for your life, but it's not for others. Let people do what they want, investing or making money doesn't need to be too complicated. I can imagine dynamic young people having many dream jobs for the crowd such as becoming a star, becoming an owner,... any job where there is no age limit, because I myself know a lot of young people who are successful in life and actually they are not always interested in the cryptocurrency field. So be comfortable with your freedom, don't just want what others don't need, relax with life and don't create stress for yourself.

I think the way your friend spends his money based on his economic status is really none of your business unless he is struggling then you definitely have the right to interfere otherwise i just do not see why you would separate from him because of this

i have and am constantly surrounded by rich people whom i have became friends with and over time I notice how different our lifestyles and the way they view money there did come a time where i felt quite insecure to put it blatantly out there because of how easy it was for my friends to buy certain things meanwhile i am thinking that the amount they just spent on a cup of coffee is the same amount of money i have for a week

of course it bothered me but then again i just remind myself that despite our economical differences, we are friends and we deeply value each other the way they spend their own money is none of my business because it does not harm them anyway i know you think you know what is best for your friend but sometimes just giving your opinion is enough you do not have to force it on them and go as much as to cutting them off

Everyone dreams of owning a house and owning a personal car. If you have a normal car then you dream of buying a good quality luxury car. It's not just about having enough money to buy a luxury car, it depends on whether you can afford the car maintenance costs and all the expenses you decide to buy. A common car user dreams of owning a Rolls Royce or a Tesla. Buying these cars is much more expensive than buying a normal car and these cars cost a lot of money. You are earning money only to live a luxurious life and have a good position in the society but even after earning a lot of money if you don't do all these things you will never enjoy your life to the fullest.

Friendship has nothing to do with Bitcoin or differing opinions. We all have our own paths to choose the best and suitable investments for ourselves. If my friend invests in cars, watches, jewelry, or anything else, it's their choice, and they have the right to it. As long as they're responsible, there's nothing wrong with their choices. Money can come from anywhere, as long as the method of earning it is legal and doesn't harm others, it's not a problem for me.

Bitcoin can indeed be a mode of investment, but it's not right to force it on everyone. We should respect everyone's decision to choose their own path.
