Deep pockets is very subjective. Not to mention that cost of living in TT is lower than in the developed world. So having money in TT doesn't translate into having money in the developed world. Which is why alot of people huff and puff about moving overseas but then always stick back in TT.

So all this talk about retiring and live free for life is just talk. If that was true then the 1% would have retired generations now.

Money does run out.

[Chimera]

Gary has been a multi-millionaire on his own decades now,and moreso now as he had 2 recent inheritances from 2 seperated millionaire parents as an only child which includes prime properties in top residential areas in the burbs.,one of which he has moved into relatively recently after putting his own multi million dollar property on the rental market..

Also the commish salary ain't too bad..

Gary is wining at life ..

yup...the commissioner salary was always known to be 40k-42k publicly

and gary never needed the commissioner job, he really doing that because of his patriotism

he eh need that small salary and it definitely eh worth the headache

man killing out himself for an ungrateful country

Bs @patriotism. Didn't he leave the regiment at the rank of capitain? Where was his patriotism to stay in the military?

He doing that job because it is a high office and he gets some power from it. Nothing to do with patriotism. What has he been doing for the last few years? Minister of nat security and private business etc?

Man is a politician and everything done by him should be viewed as a political opportunity to promote himself.

Agreed.

But the notion that money in TT is everlasting is a false one. I think Bezos, Gates etc have everlasting money and even that is considered new money.

Money in TT fragile. Could have all the money in TT and one trip to IMF devalue your currency decreasing your worth. Property in TT don't even have international appeal so can't even store value in a house here compared to London or New York etc. Best thing to do is ship ya money overseas or put it in gold etc.

Why property need international appeal or you need to store money abroad if you have no intention of ever leaving trinidad though?
You ever see property price go down here? Some of my padnas start building and selling houses at 1.3 nil 5 years ago....same houses are reselling for 1.8 million now.

Sometime when they start a housing development at 1.8mil by the time it finish the first owners reselling for 2.2 mil .

Why store money abroad and subject yourself to unnecessary foreign regulations and scrutiny? I swear some of allyuh does watch too much tv

Diversification away from systemic risk,political risk,regional risk, is supremely prudent.

If not you cede control of your net worth to the political directorate.

PS you living only 6 miles from Venezuela and you questioning why ya must diversify internationally if you don't plan on ever leaving TT? Simple fact is that our economy is very easy to collapse or mismanage. What about Zimbabwe?

The TT dollar is not in demand globally neither are our property.

Anyone of the majors to be honest. US, pounds, euros, can etc. The thing is now it is difficult to even get foreign currency in TT. That should have been done years ago, that's the whole point. Without foreign currency you can't trade with outside world and you are basically marooned here.

If you were to pack up and go in the morning, you can't take your millions of TT with you to a bank in a foreign country and expect them to change it. What if the TT currency kept depreciating daily, what happens to all of your "millions"?

Hello elec2020,

It’s always a Trini influencing these exploited poor Venezuelans and taking them down the wrong path.

Especially the jóvenes.

[elec2020]

^ lol. There may be some truth to that but its not like venezuala has 0 criminals. They are known to be a dangerous latin american country

[daxt0r]

whether is a Laventille (PNM criminal imports from years gone) or Vene (PNM new criminal RoRo imports) ppl share corn man GG, country would be better off in d long run, setta freeloaders.

[MaxPower]

^ lol. There may be some truth to that but its not like venezuala has 0 criminals. They are known to be a dangerous latin american country

True bro, i agree with you.

But for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans here....where is the crime?

[elec2020]

It still being done largely by the locals. That will never change. Still, given the slowdown in business more venez may (as in this is my opinion) turn to crime. Have to make ends meet somehow aint.

Two police officers detained for robbery

Two police officers have been detained for questioning following a report of a ‘$250,000 robbery during a road block’.

The officers—an acting corporal and a police constable—were taken in for questioning on Thursday following an investigation by senior officers of Western Division.

According to police sources, the officers had been pointed out in connection with a $250,000 robbery that took place along the Western Main Road in Cocorite, on October 3rd.

The victim, a well-known businessman, told investigators that he was robbed by the officers during a ‘road block’ of an estimated $1,500 in cash that he was carrying on his person, as well as a quantity of cash estimated to be $250,000 representing sales money, which he was transporting for his company.

The officers reportedly were dressed in police uniform and using a marked police car.

Guardian Media understands that the officers, who are assigned to the Western Division, allegedly borrowed a marked police vehicle from the St James Police Station to do an “extra duty” and reportedly robbed the businessman, before actually doing the extra duty.

A police source said the key for that particular vehicle was usually kept in the glove compartment and is not usually booked in and out in the police vehicle log book. It is believed that one of the officers took the vehicle from the station and followed the businessman’s courier money collector, who was picking up sales money at the Tunapuna and Port-of-Spain branches of the popular clothing store.

The officer then picked up the other officer and they then proceeded to allegedly conduct a “road block” where they stopped the courier and robbed him of the cash.

PC Phipps is continuing enquires.

like we forget about dss

[elec2020]

Ain't there was a story a few weeks ago about something similar? Where a businessman who cliamed the same thing happened to him at a roadblock but police didn't state if any funds were seized but claimed that he was speeding and appeared to be intoxicated? Everyone claimed the businessman was lieing. Now with this story you have to reconsider. That said. Once again the TTPS demonstrates why public confidence in them will forever remain low. They just as bad sorry no they worse than the bandits out there because these are the people we taxpayers pay to protect us. Not to rob us and/or set us up.

Business slow down so long now bro.

Its hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans here.

Crime suppose to be rampant with those numbers,

[elec2020]

Most people have some savings to push through this rough period. And they also were receiving government support and deffered loans. Now that that support is gone you will start to see greater upticks in crime.

[Chimera]

Yup with namalco owner
