Dear izzwan.com,
I think you miss out something here.
Yes, buying a car is a liability and it depreciates a lot down the road. You are lucky to have work in SG where their public transportation is efficient compare to Malaysia.
But...
Have you ever consider this...
Don't you want to have some pride in yourself by showing to your family that you can earn and pay for your own car and house? don't you want to make your mom proud one day, you say to her, "Mom, let's go for a holiday, ill drive us with my car" or "hey mom, it's the weekend, why don't you stay over at my house?".
and have you ever thought of yourself 5 - 10 years from now when you are going to get married & probably have a kid of your own, only then you will want to buy a house & a car?
I am not scaring you or what but it is the reality some of us are going through in life at the moment. I had the same principle as you do when i was younger but luckily I got a smack in the head by my gf-turn-wife a couple of years ago.
You might think monthly commitment is a burden to pay for car and house but trust me, nothing beats the feeling of taking your loved ones on a ride of your own, paid by your own hard earn money.
:rolleyes:
