If i earn bout 3k a month, what is the car value that I am able to afford in your opinion? An amount that I dun have to ikat perut and stuff, still can afford other stuff and a lil entertainment a month, not much though. How do you all arrange your money for savings and stuff ?

hi avengers, the rule of thumb owning a car is that your car price shall not exceed ur annual income.. so to afford em comfortability.. well u know how many malaysia obey this rule.. lol
