Earning NT$50K/Month? Financing a Car Could Cost You NT$5 Million Over 10 Years

The salesman says NT$10K/month is a breeze, but did you actually calculate the license tax, insurance, parking, gas, maintenance, and tolls? The real monthly burn is NT$26K — NT$3 million gone in a decade on car costs alone, and over NT$5 million once you factor in depreciation. Dump that down payment and monthly expense into a broad-market index fund instead, and compound interest would have turned it into NT$5.18 million. This article tears open the brutal ledger: the poor buy cars, the rich buy assets.

This article uses the real 5-year account of a NT$1.5 million import car loan, the 10-year NT$5 million opportunity cost, and the gap between a 25-year-old and a 35-year-old's two choices to expose the underlying rules of how the poor buy cars versus how the rich buy cars. It also gives you four non-negotiable iron rules to help you judge whether you currently have any business touching a car loan at all.

Why the Poor Hoard Cash While the Rich Borrow Aggressively: The Truth About Leverage Mindset

You hold NT$500,000 in pure fixed deposit earning 1%-plus a year — about NT$6,000 in interest. Meanwhile, your neighbor just borrowed NT$5 million from the bank at 2% to invest in an 8% project, and a year later he earned NT$300,000. This article breaks down three underlying rules behind why the poor save money while the rich accumulate assets, and runs two outcome comparisons: NT$10,000/month saved from age 25 for 40 years (NT$6.5 million vs NT$34.9 million) and buying versus renting and investing over 30 years (a NT$26 million gap). It also gives you the four prerequisites for a leverage mindset plus a self-assessment checklist so you can tell whether borrowing-to-invest is a tool or a trap for you.
