In debt till the end
It’s so terrifying, to me, how expensive things are in KL/Malaysia.
Was considering changing my faithful 13-yr-old Wira recently, to a hybrid one but after checking out the prices, I’ve changed my mind. The Honda Civic Hybrid costs about RM130,000. Even a decent, compact car like the Honda City costs almost RM90,000.
And that’s just for the auto loan.
And then property. A 2-storey link house in PJ costs minimum RM500,000 (and this is just really bare minimum i.e. if you’re very lucky).
So when I add up the loans, I’m gonna end up slaving for the rest of my life to pay them off
Is this really what life is all about? There has to be some way around it.
I see so many fancy/luxury cars on the road and property coming up everywhere, meaning lots of people are able to purchase these things. How?
I seriously dunno how people do it. Especially with the cost of living in KL being so high (and forever increasing) but salary figures remain stagnant.
How is it possible that other more developed countries are able to afford lower costs of living? Sorry, I’m not an economist nor do I remember much of my basic economics aside from supply and demand rule so I don’t understand how it works.
I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in debt!!!!!!!
