Hello everyone, I'm Terry If you are following my videos or know me You should know that I don't have a car It's not convenient to have no car Especially I am in Seattle now If you have been to Seattle You should know that the public transportation here is really super expensive Such a big city is only one light rail And this kind of track is only a few decades away There is only such a line, don't know where to start I was seriously considering buying a car some time ago Especially now Tesla is in the United States, the big sale Model Y is in the United States

The price range is only $53,000. Before it was more than $60,000. I remember it was $66,000. Plus, now there is a $7,500 EV tax credit. That means you can save $7,500. Although I don't meet this standard, my annual income needs to be within $450,000 to apply for this tax credit. But from $66,000 to $53,000, I think it's a very tempting price.

Second, you can also consider second-hand cars. If you like the engine sound or you don't want to spend 50,000 to 60,000 yuan to buy an electric car, the price of second-hand gasoline cars is also starting to fall slowly. This picture is the price of second-hand cars on the North American market. As the supply chain gradually recovers, the production capacity of new cars will slowly increase. In addition, we are now in a high interest rate environment. The biggest impact is the second-hand car prices that have soared together with the epidemic.

1:10

So if you really want to buy a second-hand car, I suggest you wait a little longer. Because the second-hand car price only continues to fall down Basically, I can't think of any reason to make the second-hand car price rebound. I don't know if there are any indexes that can control the price of the second-hand car market. Then let's talk to you today. Why do I buy a second-hand car?

1:26

I didn't buy a car I know you might think Maybe it's just some financial channel tricks What car is debt not assets What car is very high interest rate Car price is cut in half There is also oil money, fuel tax, insurance These are all expensive Actually not the main reason Of course, these are all right But it's not the main reason why I don't buy a car

1:43

Let's pause for a moment Today's video is sponsored by Rush Royale New Year's Day is coming Rush Royale is a mobile game that uses the platform to defend itself It's called "The Imperial of the Forged" in Chinese I think it's very similar to the "Petrified Giants" I played when I was a kid But they are different in that they have a lot of real-time online modes Like fighting with players Or collaborating with other players to fight against AI I personally like this game because it's actually quite healing Especially when you're under a lot of pressure at work This kind of platform defense, the feeling of destroying enemies You'll get a strange sense of satisfaction

2:12

Now, download the Rush Royale QR Code from my link and you'll get a special gift of a grand prize. There are gold coins, cards, and magic powder inside, which can be exchanged for a legend card. It's easy to play, too. Basically, it depends on who you can compete with. There's also a mission mode, which can unlock new heroes through the mission. Another thing I like is the style. I think it's cute and suitable for working hours.

2:38

If you are interested, you can use our link or scan the QR code to get a new player gift pack. If you are using an iPhone, remember to allow the first launch of the game to get the box. There are gold coins, cards and magic powder inside, which can be exchanged for legendary cards. The reward is limited, I will put the link in the information column below. First of all, if I work in technology, my income basically gives me a lot of freedom to afford most of the car. And buying a car in the United States is actually cheaper. Compared to many other countries, the tariffs are relatively low.

3:04

Especially those imported cars from Europe In addition, I personally think that buying a car is not necessarily a cost If you buy a car, it can make your work efficiency higher Or because of your work, you must own a car Then buying a car is definitely a correct choice It's not a cost, it's an investment The reason I really don't buy a car is because I don't want the car to have my time I think my most valuable asset is time Not how much money my bank has or how many houses I have

3:28

I think money is something that you can never make in your life. Everyone has the same amount of time. If it's normal, the average life expectancy of humans is about 70 years old. If I deduct 30 years of my life, plus 10 years of my life in the late years, I might be lying on the bed or I might not be able to move or do anything else. The real time left is only about 30 years.

3:46

30 years of time, 52 weeks a year, and only 1560 weeks left to do what I want to do or experience my life. Then you may think, what does buying a car have to do with time? Buying a car should not make you save more time, and you don't need to go to the public transportation. That's right. But this is established under the condition that you need to go to a certain place often. I'm basically working from home now, I don't need to go to the company at all. Everything I want to do, including YouTube, can be done at home.

4:13

So first of all, cars are not a must-have for me. Second, I don't want to drive. The main reason is that I don't want to spend time on cars. Of course, some things are still good to do on cars. If I have a car today, I see that if there is no coke in the fridge, I may want to go to Costco or want to buy a banana or want to go to the supermarket for a walk to see what I need to buy. This is why I don't want to have a car. Without a car, I will buy all these things on the Internet.

4:35

I can save a lot of time. If I need to buy vegetables, Amazon Fresh basically has everything. I think it's about 30 dollars. You can just transport it to your house for free. If I want to buy something more Chinese today, like soy sauce or pineapple, I will buy it directly on Wee. To be honest, it's really convenient and good.

4:52

I didn't help them with the equipment at all. I was at the place where the two-step-dust on the big lake was. Wii actually has a service that directly helps me to send things from the mountain to the mountain for free. In the previous videos, I saw that the rest of the things, such as cotton, were all bought on Wii. I really recommend it to myself. I didn't help them with the equipment.

5:07

If you haven't used it in the US, I recommend you to try it out. I will put the link to my invitation in the description box below. If you use my link, you will get a $20 new user recommendation. So buying food and stuff is not a must for me. Going out shopping is a must for me. If I don't have a car, I won't have the chance to go shopping. As for other things, like home appliances, some necessities in life,

5:30

其實全都是在網路上可以買的 可能我今天去Costco 或是一些量販實體店買的話 會便宜一點點 但還是一樣 可能我跑一整趟 省個十幾二十塊錢 但是會需要花我的時間成本 會遠遠超過我能省的這個錢 我覺得每個人對自己 應該都有一個時間成本的概念 假如你可以選擇做某些事情 去賺到一百塊錢的舉例來說 一個小時

5:51

Then you can set your own time and opportunity cost at 100 yuan per hour If you are going to spend an hour today to save less than 100 yuan Then this does not meet the efficiency of your time cost This logic is very simple, like me, I actually help other companies to do the consultation The fee is 300 yuan per hour If I go to Costco today to buy a box of coke and then buy a bunch of grocery Maybe you can save 20-30 yuan a trip But this is not considered a lot of money, if you save a lot of money, you may save less This trip takes me at least an hour

6:18

如果我用這個時間來做資訊的話,它的成本效益就會高很多。 但是如果今天我有車的話,我就會給自己一個出門的理由。 如果沒有車的話,我就會逼自己在家裡把所有想要買的東西都在線上買。

6:29

三D的虛擬實境裡面看過那套房子了。

6:50

If you can think of anything you can't buy online, please leave a comment below the video Another reason why I don't have a car is that I want to force myself to avoid unnecessary social media Not because I don't have friends I think if I have a car, I will have more opportunities to go out to a friend's house party, watch a movie, go out for a meal, go buy clothes It's not that I want to work every day and have no life I am indeed a workaholic, but I also like to hang out with friends I think if I don't have a car, I can save time for more important things

7:16

I still go to the place I want to go with Uber and hang out with the people I want to hang out with. But if there is no car, I will not go to those not so important areas. I think it will be easier for me to find a reason to go to those activities after having a car. Because it's quite convenient to drive anywhere. Then you may say that if there is no car, it will be more troublesome to go out and do things. I think 95% of things can be done online now.

7:34

Other than some special things, like I need to go to Vancouver to get a Lexus. I think it's okay to rent an Uber or a car. I don't really like to rent a car. Like I said before, the real reason I don't want to use a car is that I don't want the car to have my time. If I rent a car today or do something, I can't do anything else while driving. At most, I can only chat, listen to music, or put on a podcast.

7:57

So if I go out of the country, I prefer to use public transportation such as a train or plane. Because on the train or plane, I can take out my computer and do what I want to do. And this time will not be wasted. I think driving is a waste of time. The only thing that can solve this problem is probably Tesla's FSD. But it may also take two years. I think it's about two years. We can see Tesla's level 5 all-wheel drive on the road.

8:20

以上我講的這些都是花在使用這台車子上的時間 如果今天有一台車的話 我需要花更多時間去保養 去洗車 要去加油 停車的時候我還需要擔心怕別人刮到我的車 我記得以前我住多倫多的時候 每年夏天冬天到了就要去車廠換雪胎 換一隻雪胎不只是要預約 要排隊 還需要在車間等一個小時的時間

8:39

These are all additional time spent on owning this car. The real time spent is after owning this car, I will go to do things like shopping, buying things, driving to get a ride, to eat a snack, to go to a dinner, to a friend's party. These are all the time I have to have a car and its value and go back to my time. Okay, that's it for today's video. I believe that cars are a very important tool for many families, especially if you are in the United States, a family's basic standard is a car. One to two cars is normal.

9:05

只是因為我現在人生階段沒有家庭沒有小孩需要照顧 沒車子可以讓我專注在我想要做的事情上面 然後把時間留給重要的人 但是並不代表說你也要跟我一樣 我覺得每個人的lifestyle都不太一樣 那如果你喜歡今天這集影片的話 記得要幫我點個讚 也歡迎你在底下留言告訴我你的看法 那我們下次見囉
