Topic: Why must you used such money to purchased a car? - page 5. (Read 614 times)

I had to check the internet to see the car that cost $28milloin and I discovered that the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail cost the amount. I don't know what your friend does for a living, maybe he is a professional footballer or a celebrity?  I have read so much about some rich scammers or drug lords who could afford such luxury cars. I will assume that your twenty years old friend didn't work hard for this money that's why he could splash such an amount on a car.


Investing in Bitcoin is not by force but by choice. Your friend has the freedom to buy whatever he wants because the money belongs to him and not you. You can only advise him but you cannot force him to buy or Invest in what he wants. Friendship is not also by force but by choice. You are an adult and should choose your friends. If you think that because of his extravagance, he shouldn't be your friend, it's your decision.

Yup, that's a made up story by OP. Rolls-Royce will usually drain your wallet, but they're not that expensive. Most start from $400k and the more expensive ones with custom options will cost you around $1m.
For 28m it would have to be gold-plated... or limited like that special La Rose Noire that they made only 4. I honestly doubt that his friend was able to get that unless he's royalty or something. These special editions were most likely reserved by Dubai Prince and similar people...


OP probably read an article about world's most expensive cars and decided to make up a story.

you want to advice someone that can spend $28 million dollars just to purchase a car? You are doing very well.

Anyone that can use that amount of money just to purchase a car should be a wealthy person that has dozens of $28 million dollars in his savings and you should definitely not bother advising him.

If I convert that amount you just wrote out their casually into my local currency, it's enough to feed a full community fr months and such a friend if such individual is damn privileged to have such person as a friend.

Truly, if this story is not fabricated, you are a big boss and should show us the way.

or he could ask his friend to teach him how to earn that 28M. for 20-year-old kid to earn this much, i would certainly be interested to learn too and so the reason why the kid didn't listen is because the kid has some different ways to make money other than crypto.

people with money and who know how to use the money to make money will be a lot harder to convince to invest in something.  or they know more. the story may still be a made-up one. but it won't hurt if you assume its true.

If your friend can afford to buy a Rolls Royce car for $28 million dollars then he is definitely a rich person.  Of course he has money to invest.  So he didn't listen to your advice.  And what is there to end the friendship?  If he can buy a Rolls Royce with his own money then it's a matter of pride. If all the money is only invested then what will satisfy the hobby or need lol.

It doesn't matter to me whether he'd listen to my advise or not. They will remain as my friend and I'd be happy to their purchase because it's rare to see someone you have a connection purchase that brand. Other than that, I wouldn't think of it as a personal matter that I should interact with their personal decisions especially if it's related to money. They are their own boss of their own money and I cannot question them whether they invest that big amount or purchase the dream cars of their lives. It's really no biggie when they decide to do that, every person deserves to satisfy themselves whether it is expensive or not.

OP, I do not believe what you have just said. You did not mention $28,000 you said millions of dollars. Honestly, this is a made-up story even if it is a real story. Anyone who has such an amount to spend on a car is a millionaire in dollars so he has businesses, companies, or whatever that would give him such an amount to spend on something that won't bring returns.

The part where you said that you abstain from him because he spent such an amount. That should not be enough reason to distance yourself. If you have such a friend it is good to be more closer to him. Apart from teaching you or showing how he made such an amount to buy a car, if you are a true friend you can advice him to and teach him how to spend money wisely. You will stick with him till he changes and learns to invest and out money to good use.

Why would you unfriend him simply because he purchased an expensive car? There's nothing inherently wrong with him buying such a car if he has the financial means.it's his personal choice. On the other hand, you fulfilled your role as a friend by suggesting that he invest the money instead. However, since he may have chosen not to or perhaps has a more secure source of income, that shouldn't be a reason to end the friendship. It's essential to respect  other people's choices and understand that financial decisions can vary based on individual circumstances..just as you said, here I do think he has enough money to purchase such an asset.

How do you people cook up these stories? do you not for one second stop and think that the people in this forum are not all fools??

There is no friend like this. STOP SPEWING LIES!!!

Even if there was a friend like this, A poor man's advise to a rich person will never be taken seriously. You are in no position to tell someone how to use their money or give financial advise to someone when they did not ask for you advise. You are no professional and should leave the duty of financial advise to the people who are paid for it.

If he bought that car from his $40 million, we can call him stupid if its from a $500 million money that he owns, I can say that he probably deserve to spend on that kind of luxury. We can call him out for buying such a fancy and luxurious car, it is pretty easy but the process he went through is not easy unless it is from the lottery. Personally, I would not buy such car that would cost me millions, prolly not even on 100 grand, I'd settle myself on a simple sports car or family car that could take me from point A to point B. If I were to spend luxury, I'd be spending it to my home so everyone on my family can enjoy every bits of it.

First of all I want to say that I don't own a car and I don't want to spend more money to buy a car. But I have a motorcycle which is sufficient for my commuting.  I am not that rich so I don't have enough money to buy a car but if I have enough money then instead of investing in cars I will invest it in strong assets like Bitcoin, Gold, Real Estate to get better returns. Cars are very necessary for living a luxury life but not for middle class family members like us. this is for righ man and rich kid

I have no doubt that this kind of thing does happen, but before an individual has the mind to spend such an amount of money to purchase a car, they might have had some other investment, saved up a huge amount of money, or are probably working for a company where their salary is very high. Sometimes, your friend may not tell you about the amount of money they have in their safe or will not even tell you about their investment. My question for you is, after that guy bought the car, is he still living a comfortable lifestyle or not? If he is still living comfortably, that means he still has a lot of income source that is still replenishing his pocket.

You cannot unfriend a friend because they bought a car; he may assume that you are against their success or something, and that's not good. If you advise him and he doesn't listen, then allow him to spend his money the way he wants; perhaps he earned the money himself.

From your story, it seems your friend is rich and still has means to earn more money, because if he had not, he would not spend that huge money to buy a car.

I don't want to suspect anything about the truth of this story, but I will always consider a friend to be a friend even if he doesn't listen to my advice. He has the right to all the money he owns, full responsibility for managing that money rests entirely with his decision.
You may want a life free from financial problems in the future by investing in several different assets, but he is trying to enjoy life with the money he has now by buying a luxury car. Every decision is the responsibility of each individual, you are free to manage your finances without intervention from other parties, and so does he.

did he use that Rolls Royce off-road that it looked old already after 5 years?  the value of cars depreciates as they get older, not the type of investment a smart investor wants. but in his 20s all he wants is to impress women.  it must have gotten him laid many times.

most people in their 20s have crazy priorities. even when i was at that age, i didn't have an interest in mortgage investing but as i get older, it seems to be one of my priorities already. i don't want to leave this world that my kid will not have a home to inherit. this will give him a fighting chance to live decently in life when I'm gone. BTC will be more of a plus since it's a currency itself.

If someone can buy a car for $28Mil then they are financially better, and maybe they can go broke but he didn't see the car as an investment but as a collectible but no car actually costs 28Mil in 2023 so its some kind of classic old I guess.

People make money to live their life what they want, so if he has 10bn then he surely can afford 28mil car and private jets, a yacht, and everything else.

Good to hear you have that wealthy friend mate because I have never experienced to get one but this sounds a made up story to me sorry for that. 😅 Well, for me people always have the right to choose whatever they want and if we find it bad it's none of our business anymore and we have to respect their decisions as long as it was legal and no one was aggrieved . Some wealthy people might get offended with our suggestions though he is your friend but still be careful with your words. Rich people don't usually listen to advices from people who they think belongs to the lower class as we all know they do have pride.

I’m pretty sure that this is a made up story since that 28M car from rolls royce is the most expensive car which this car company ever made. If your “friend” really can buy this car then I’m pretty sure he came from rich family which doesn’t need an advice from you.

Also if I can buy that kind of car without any problem then I don’t need to invest on Bitcoin because the business/salary that gives me the money for purchasing that luxurious car is already enough for me to sustain my financial needs.

You are comparing buying a luxurious car to Bitcoin investment while it’s obvious that only people that is financially stable can do this kind of stuff. This story will be believable if you use cheap cars instead a luxurious car specifically the top of the line for this well known brand.

I know, having a car as a young guy is very good to reduce some transport fair in some area and to make it easy for your family or siblings to catch some fun in some good area. But how can someone at the age of 20 years used $28 millions to purchased a car that is not going to bring income to he, when we have some decentralized investment you can invest such amount of money in the bear season and have hope of making more money that will reach you to start other business that will be fetching you cool money. This is what one of my friend did few months ago despite the advise I gave to him to invest the money on BTC or Ethereum, that  he will make more money that will give him more opportunities to build more companies but he never listen to my advice despite the inflation in the country but he went to used $28 millions to purchased Rolls Royce that will not last more than 5 years before it will start looking like old car to the eye of people. If you have such friend that doesn't have any investment and he went to invest such money on car will you continue to take such person as your friend? I have separated from him based on the money he use to buy car that will not add value to his life but people said I would have not separated from him that it have been long we became friends in the environment. What I did is it good or bad so that I will know how to apologize to him to continue the friendship with him.
