In a now-deleted Instagram post, Rachel posed next to a Toyota Yaris and said she does not know whether she can laugh or cry. She lamented how quickly life can change, but she concluded on a positive note that the big change is not forever, and it is just a temporary chapter. She said:

"Life has a funny way of humbling you just when you think you've got it all figured out. One day you are riding high, the next year asking a friend to burn their spec card and Google how to parallel park a Yaris with dignity."

Briefly News posed the big question to money maestro Fulufhelani Mashapha: What’s the real cost of owning luxury items like a Mercedes—beyond the price tag and public praise?

"Luxury items—especially cars—often come with high maintenance costs.

Something as simple as a flat tyre can cost between R8,000 and R10,000 to replace."
