    one mountain taller than one mountain. Lambo is nbot the everest of street legal cars. I won't turn my head looking at a lambo these days, but i would definitely do so if i see a Bugatti Veyron. I have yet to see anyone driving one on the street.

    these highly paid people use leverage for property speculation, that's for sure, but their gearing is high and they only trade big units in prime areas. why? because quantum is high, when $psf goes up all around their location, their quantum increases exponentially. don't forget these people deal in tens and hundreds of millions in trades every day in their jobs, their appetite is not the same as the average joe. there are so many examples of these people but nobody knows who they are until they screw up in some way in their jobs: nick leeson was one.

    these people are professional white collar gamblers and were and are going to be the main cause of property bubble bursting.

    you mentioned that he was born rich, so nothing commendable bout this friend of yours. there are countless examples of rich kids born into this word who do not have to work. if you tell me ur friend was kicked out by his family at 18, penniless, worked to save up to study and later became successful and earn his millions and retire at 30 years, then i would take my hats off to him....

    Owing a property is not a child’s play, it needs money, time and future planning for which one needs to be professional and personally secured. To reach this stage, person normally attains the age of 40 yrs.
