To drive or not to drive? Owni-To The Moon - Tiger Brokers Online Investing Community - To The Moon

To drive or not to drive? Owning a car very much depends on several factors such as job requirement for sales position to meet clients, sending the children for classes, bringing a bigger family out with more than 5 pax with infants and/or aged parents.

Certainly there are car rental companies and Grab cars available with a lower cost but less convenient. Public transportation is accessible to most if one is healthy and mobile.

Personally, I believe the COE prices will continue to slide gradually into 2024 and 2025 as the "general election is approaching", if you know what I mean 🤫

There are different seasons in life to own various kinds of products and services required. It's important to simply live according to our earning capacity and avoid spending beyond our means.

COE Prices Rebound: Are You a Car Owner or Not?

On January 17th, Singapore's second round of COE (car certificate) prices surged past 100,000 Singapore dollars. Its volitility is comparable to the stock market. After reaching a peak in October 2023, prices declined from November to January. In 2024, there was a substantial drop in COE prices, some even returning to levels from two years ago. Some suggests Singapore has the world's highest car purchase costs. ---------- How do you view? Are you a car owner or ready to be? Or owning a car is not your plan？
