I respect the people that can BUILD nice cars more than the ones that can BUY them.

Can anyone specifically explain what you guys mean by 'INVESTEMENTS'

Everyone is saying this so at least i would want to know.

don't worry about it

half these guys are just pretending to know what they're talking about

I see you've been price shopping 911s. Keep dreaming. :)

A nice, clean C4S is easily over $100K+. After taxes, you can be $120++

That's where you put in some money and try to make as much money in as short a time as possible

Information technology is making a pharmacists' job more and more redundant/easier to do. Is it better to rely on a computer database that can instantaneously tell me drug interactions, which will be far more comprehensive and up-to-date than any human's?

Wages are kept artificially high only because the professional body keeps supply of pharmacists limited by making it a difficult degree to obtain. Furthermore, the demand for medical care in wealthy countries is highly inelastic, so ppl can bear a much higher cost for medical care to support these types of professions but it is at a deadweight loss to society. There's a reason businesses and govts have to pay so much for medical care and they're going bankrupt.

In poorer countries, the medical systems can't afford to have such luxuries as pharmacists, and drugs are dispensed directly by nurses or the clinic's receptionist after they are prescribed by doctors.

Same here, any rich guy can buy an expensive car. But building a car from ground up is way more respectable

So whos spoiled here? Lets have a tally of parent powered list of users going

me i have 6 lambos

I dont hate on the rich kids that rely on they parents' money because it's the parents who worked hard or whatever they did to get that money so naturally, they're going to want to give their kids the things they might not have had themselves when they were younger. And if the kids flaunt it, they do so because they're young and dumb. In the end, if the dumb showoffs live their lives dependent on their parents and don't learn how to earn their own keep, they will just burn through their parents' money eventually and be poor losers.

rich dad poor dad.

man how rich can people overseas be though?

Given the exchange rate, $100,000 CAD is like 600,000 HKD, 533,000 Chinese Yuan, 2.6 million TW dollars....

Seriously man how do they do it? It's not like in HK minimum wage is 6x higher than minimum wage here (to balance out due to the exchange rate). Aren't most people overseas considered poor compared to here?

Like the example of the person who's parents are lawyers in China. Lawyers here make how much 100-200k here? Not like in China they make 6x that amount right? People always say how cheap things are in China/HK/TW and that's primarily due to the exchange rate. Going the other way is extremely unfavourable aint it?

China is a very corrupt country which creates pockets of extreme wealth at the expense of the poor. In Canada it is more or less a level playing field and society is based on a meritocracy, so it is much harder to become wealthy. As a society, on average, we do better. For example, Marco911 got to where he is purely on his vast talents and merits.

Hong Kong...somewhat no tax

C'mon Marco, even you've admitted that you were set up (or born into) in a favourable socioeconomic situation. :D Granted, you've apparently made use of that situation, so thumbs up to you.

Do you really think that the immigrants that you see here form a representative sample of people in Asia? You do have the "rich" immigrants who are middle or upper middle class - businessmen etc etc (the ones whose children drive Bimmers and Benzes), and you also have some working class immigrants (whose children don't). Then you have the working and poor folk in Asia who couldn't even dream of emigrating.

so much hate in this world...


this is a car forum.. we discuss about cars, not how we got those cars...
