错误的第一步:车子就是身份的象征
年青人踏入社会后的第一件事,就是存钱买车。现在市场上最便宜的汽车都要三万元,就算用分期付款买进,头期都要六千元,余款分七年供,每个月还要四百元。在加上汽油,过路费,泊车费等等,每个月单单养车都要七百元以上。有了车后节目就多,花钱的机会就多,想存钱就难上加难。虚荣心告诉我们,车子就是身份的象征,能够换新车就代表我们有本领,事业有成。所以旧车未供完就想换新车,结果是个永远供不完的车。
错误的第二步:装修自己的屋子
居者有其屋,每个人都应该有自己的屋子,有机会买屋子没有理由是错误的决定。而且屋价年年上升,早买肯定比迟买好,这是不用争辩的事情。但是这其中却大有文章,如果处理不当,可能致富无望。
在还没有自己屋子之前,租房子的人都有相同的想法,那就是一切从简。家私不用太好,能用就可以。电视不用太大,能看就可以。装修不用谈,房子不是自己的。东西不用买太多,省得将来搬屋子的辛苦。样样都从简,就可省大钱。
买了新房子,样样都讲究,装修贵一点不要紧,要住一辈子。家私不能够随便,朋友看了没面子。冷气机,电视机,冰箱等等都得齐,这样才能算住自己的家。样样都要钱,幸亏贷款容易,可以先用未来钱。
有了自己的家,供车供屋都来不及了,怎样再存钱?没有存钱怎样作投资,没有投资怎样发达。这就是买车买屋后的危险。
Hi kian Wei
I can't read Chinese. But I google translate it. Good one. I was 10 years late. I was one of those ignorants. But I work doubly hard to compensate my lost years. I will hope to see results in another 5 years time as I have only started to learn about personal financial and investment about 5 years ago.
Where can I get these articles or book?
Thanks again

i fully agreed. when got car and house...then how to save money for investment...Inflation is going up and up but government said it is ok.... :-(

very good one, fully agreed. Probably some hardcore property fan will disagree and tell u your house is the best investment as it will sure appreciate, investing in stock is exposed to down side risk, and there is no leveraging effect, blah blah blah

If I read it correctly, it said consider house first, car is just a necessity ... So buy not because of status, but because we need it. I could only hope my proton basic could last me another 5years or more as ... Err ... Proton cars won't last? Low quality? But it is still the cheapest I could afford.
Wish I could think it this way 10years ago. To the youngsters, do think about it before buying a car or change a new car?

Not neccesarily. Robert T.Kiyosaki told us that not all properties are assets. Only the properties which can bring in +ve cash flow are assets i.e. house/apartment/shop/land for rent/trade. & it'd be best if one has both assets in share & properties to diversify risks & increase +ve cash flow. Just my opinion.
