A luxury car used to be one of my biggest goals.
Not because I loved cars.
Because I loved what they represented.
Status. Proof. The feeling that people would finally look at me differently.
Then I started talking to people who actually owned them.
The monthly costs were painful.
The maintenance bills never stopped. The value dropped faster than most people expected.
What surprised me most was that many of them were working harder to keep the image than to build real wealth.
That's when my opinion changed.
Luxury cars aren't a symbol of financial success.
They're often a subscription to looking successful.
The internet loves selling the dream of expensive things.
I think owning assets that pay you while you sleep is far more impressive than owning a car that loses value while it sits parked.
That's my unpopular opinion.

What's something society treats as success that you think is overrated?

@OnyeokoroAfoma@RallyOnChain This hits harder than people want to admit. A lot of relationships and marriages are not really about love anymore, they are about avoiding the discomfort of being alone, even if the cost is emotional peace for years.
@Dreybaba1234@RallyOnChain Louder for the people in the back! It begs the question though: how do you personally differentiate between genuine, long-term conviction in a project's fundamentals and just holding on out of pure stubbornness and ego? Where do you draw that line?
@L4t5s Your father made a fascinating choice.
He could have told you they were stolen and turned them into a story about loss.
Instead he quietly turned them into a story about continuity.
You never had to carry the theft with you.
