If you bought a Tesla Model S in 2012, your $$77,000 car would be worth approximately $40,000 today.
If you had invested that same $77,000 in Tesla Stock, you would have over $7 million dollars.

If you must win the game of poverty versus affluence, you have to strategically invest your money into ventures that generates good yields instead of buying depreciable materials that would lose values overtime. - Olawale Daniel
If you must buy things to brag or show your class, acquiring assets such as cryptocurrency (BNB, Bitcoin, Ethereum), real estate investment in landed property, bonds of reputable company and government bodies, stocks of brands like Tesla, Apple, Google and the likes are a sure path to real wealth. Not the latest smartphones, or cars that don't retain its perceived value.
You must learn to delay gratification till the later time.
