I’ve also never met a person who downgraded their car. For most people every successive car has to be bigger, faster and more expensive, so those numbers would go up.

Went from a Hyundai Elantra 1.8 GLS Auto to a Honda Jazz :p

Now you know... :D

Tax

Tax is a by product of success. I have no issue paying it. I like roads, I like security, I like water and hospitals etc.

Tax is not a bi - product of success - it is the direct result of a spendthrift and greedy government and its connected cadres. If their was accountability for tax receipt spend I would not mind paying the level of taxes that I do, but without it I am disappointed every time they increment taxes. The poor are certainly not the beneficiaries of tax receipts
