werd
i guran fucking tee u young folks who goes into university that drives AMG and some other fucking M power shit are bought by parents. too many of my friends they grab a random joe shitty ass piece of shit subject just to show their parents WOOT i got in, i got the brain where my prize at attitude. so their parents award them with a car of their choice depending how rich the family is. 92% cases are like that.
as for mid 20s fellows
stock market is shit rit now.
last year my buddy in LA made enough money in short period of time enough to buy 2-3 new E class, and now this year he lost it all
either u are a doc or a dentist which is wat my cousin is doing right now and balling out of control or a lawyer
otherwise enjoy the lovely 30%+ taxes on each of your pay cheque
they either SERIOUSLY got a good career or they work their ass off.
Drug money isnt easy to get u a $80g car. UNless u are some big shot who sells doughs like ice cream cake, otherwise a civic? ya, a 320i? ya, nothing crazy like a 750iL.
most of it is spoil brat , but to each and their own. Afterall everyone has different life styles, money doesnt always buy happiness.

I know a couple of friends who went to alberta to work right after school for 2 years or so, scored large, come back for 3-4 months amd spend like kings.
As for myself and some few other friends of mine, we hopped on that realestate train when it was stupid high and kept flipping. It was good money while it lasted.
I'm not rich or anything, but my car is paid for, and I live pretty decently with my day job.

alternatively, instead of investing the money you earned in university, invest it into some hydroponic equipment, you'll be rolling in an AMG and more, but obviously thats you're choice. | parents, and what jackmeister said, change your major!

woah you guys are crazy, it's a battle zone in here...
a teacher told me if you want to make good money do accounting, but what the hell do you do in accounting? sit on the computer play around with numbers doing what? + math isn't my thing, it stresses me out when i can't figure something out.
I though it would be the parents like most people are saying, or possibly they might have just started their own business up.

Unfortunately that is what most people think of accountant that they get orgies by trying to balance the book.
People will in fact pay accountant lot of money for their services. And today's accountant knows a lot more than simply just accounting; professionals knows the entire business operation cycle.

i'm gonna say 90% of ppl you see who're like 20 and driving a 100k+ car that it's paid for by their parents.
i mean, if i'm 20, and i deal...i'm not paying taxes on that...and even if i have a dayjob to cover, only the income of that job gets put on. no way a dealer will approve me. and that's just a car. what about those Mdollar condos? no way. but then again, i'm in the group of unfortunates who actually had to pay my own way. so it's apples n cowturds.

It has nothing to do with formal education...only if you wanna spend 7-8 yrs and lose your 20's to a stack of books. A job is only one way to make money.
It's about timing and OPPORTUNITY, and knowing how to handle cashflow so $1 isn't just $1...blowing a wad and 'making it rain' is not knowing how to handle cashflow - in that case $1 will only ever get you $1
My best friends brother made $180,000 profit on the side because he mortgaged a place as soon as he could instead of buying a flashy car first, rented it out to pay his mortgage payments, and then cashed out during a major real estate bubble. then he took his money, bought a pre-owned beemer, and is staying smart with it....and now he's back in the real estate market. And this cat is young. Who knows what's next...

If you have math 11 you are good to go. Most of math in accounting you will encounter are business math. Which is non of the high school Math 12 crap that they mandatory require you to take and memorize.

Because someone drives a luxury car doesn't mean they're rich. Most people are living on the banks payroll and are way over their head in debt.
