讽刺

Thaks to Francis Ng (FN)，我已成为 Me & My Money 的忠实读者了！
今天访问 Celene Chen (Prudential Assurance's top adviser, CC) 的报导让我们看了都觉得很讽刺。。

Q: How much do you charge to your credit cards every month? 
CC: The monthly charges vary but they are usually about $5,000 on average...I withdraw about $500 weekly from the ATM.

FN: I charge $1,000 to two credit cards...I withdraw $500 from the ATM every month.

-- 差距也太大了吧？$5000 vs $1000, $500 weekly vs $500 monthly!

Q: What's the most extravagant thing you have bought?
CC: It was a simple blow-dry service that I paid $60 for on CNY's Eve at a neighbourhood hair salon ...extravagant because it was not value for money.
I don't mind paying for quality goods such as brands like Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Tods and so on, because I can wear them for many years. I do not buy more than two pairs of brand-name shoes each year; they range from $600 to more than $2,000 a pair.

FN: A used Mercedes E200, which I bought in 2004 for $70,000. It was a 13-year-old car

-- $600-$2000的鞋子也买得下手？！看来她得跟保险客户说声谢谢，他们还真是贡献良多啊！


Q: I drive...
CC: A dark grey BMW 3 series

FN: The white Mercedes 200 （ie the 13 year-old car) 

-- 嗯。。我想我会比较愿意去 FN 的店消费。。至于保单，还是另请高明比较妥当！就担心会被砍菜头 :p
