    i always get a laugh looking through HK property magazines when i see apartments that RENT for HK$300,000 per month.

    who in their right mind would rent a place like that? after a few months you could have owned a fairly decent place.

    If someone is willing to spend HK$300,000/month I think she/he is not looking for just a fairly decent place.

    I know people making HK$300,000 per day. Do you think they have any problem to use one day of income for paying the rent?

    And they know your motivation for becoming friends with them.

    At that price range, you're going to find that the rentals are done on corporate accounts.

    I really know such people and I tell you that their life is even more boring than mine or yours. Or they have to go to the lawyer for convincing their son to cut the hair promising them to buy the latest Audi car model.

    No, this is not the life I envy. Of course, I don't envy who has troubles everyday to even find the money to eat.
    In Italy we say "la ragione sta nel mezzo" that means that the truth is in the middle. I guess there should be a Chinese or Asian saying also for that.
