kaya no big deal sa mga really rich ang sasakyan
motor vehicles are only tools to them. something they use to get around
unlike the middle class, they don't go around comparing their cars to other people's cars. their minds are occupied with bigger, more important things like which mountain to flatten for their next project
unlike the insecure middle class that always have to prove something to other people, secure ang mga really rich sa sarili nila. they don't care what people think
I was in a meeting yesterday and one of our property managers mentioned that there are a good number unit owners in our projects who drive BMWs, Audis and MBs. The clincher is, this is one of our "low end/affordable" developments where a unit will cost as much as a Monty Sport. Go figure...

i'm not saying the really rich don't buy high end cars. they do
but what they use is extra money. money begotten from money
unlike the middle class that have to go to work everyday to get a paycheck to pay monthly amortization

In the case of two of those guys in that group, its not cars they own but car dealerships and distributorships (and you're talking of mainstream brands)... and to delve on the a related sub-topic on this thread, some have girlfriends/partners that can qualify as their daughters in terms of age. :whoa:

kaya sabi ko iba level ng mga rich
low, middle income people can only compare gadgets and cars coz gadgets and cars are the most expensive assets they own
rich people compare other assets (my mall is bigger than your mall. oh yeah?! i'll build a bigger mall across your mall. oh yeah?! did you see my other mall? the one by the bay?! But my malls are classy... your malls are masa. But i'm richer than you. hehe)

LOL... owned!!! :D Baka pag-uwi niya, pinagpilitan niya kay Tonyboy to buy RCBC Plaza.
Yep, they're that kind of circle... All started relatively small in trading/importing, made the right decisions at the right time with the ample capital to support them. The money they dealt with me back in the bank was peanuts for them although it would have gotten me my dream house, pay for the kids education, and live on interest comfortably.
They don't drive around in old cars unlike the Binondo building owner though. :D

November 11th, 2011 06:17 PM #356Guys, this is not a fiction or an urban legend. It's a first hand experience. The area is near Eng Bee Tin, 711, et al. in Binondo. The building is relatively old and I didn't see the building owner.
To continue the story. The Matrona-looking lady just hop back to her Fortuner and I presumed she looked for another parking space.
My family is into manufacturing and trading. I have met a lot of individuals.
There was this guy in a province down south of Luzon who drives around in an old Willys jeep. Yet, he lives in a ranch and big mansion. Another one in Nueva Ecija, Willys jeep din ang type. Pero he owns a few commercial buildings and a big farm land.
In our last highschool reunion naman, the middle-incomes(employees most of them), arrived in Fortuners, Monteros, CRVs, etc. and talked about their achievements in life after highschool. Business owners and rich clan heirs are just using Citys, Vios and an old Nissan Pickup and talked about the good ol' days.
