[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When comparing prices of new or slightly used cars versus very used cars, keep in mind the Vimes Boots Theory: [quote]The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. ... A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.[/quote] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory[/quote] This is the most ridiculous theory in the history of mankind. The notion that the rich are rich because they spend less money is absurd. They are rich because they have skills that are in demand and are able to get high paying jobs or create successful businesses that generate a lot of money. [/quote]
