Since your parents are successful, no reason why u cant be as well. Learn to stand on your own 2 feet. Being young is not an excuse. I started off earning just RM1,700 per month and i was also paying RM800 for my new Wira back then. Still i never took a cent from my parents not because they couldnt afford to give but because i didnt want to parade around in something which was not of my own hard work. If i couldnt afford something because of my lower earning capacity back then, i just didnt get it. Simple as that. Personally, i dont see why our parents should support us in any way once we start working.
If it was me in your shoes, i would rather drive a smaller Vios paid 100% by me rather than drive a much bigger car paid for by my parents. You can see many young ppl in KL driving around in big cars. What do you think when u see them? Usually we say 'ya la he can drive that cuz his parents are rich' right? Most will feel envious but how many will have respect? And even if they did have respect, how much is it for you? I would rather drive something which ppl will say 'ya le he can drive that because he is successful in his career' cuz then the credit is mine alone. I know many wont agree but its a matter of philosophy.
I drove a Vios since 2003 and despite moving into the 5 figure bracket in 2006, i still chose to continue using my Vios till now. Yes i could have afforded a much bigger car. Even now i can easily afford to move into the big league of BMW, Audi, etc but i decided against it as cars are a losing commodity and i didnt think i am at that level yet.
Anyway, the choices you make are yours alone. All i hope is for you to make the correct ones. Cheers!
Nicely said, bro. Those are words of gold .... but sadly not every young buyer knows how to appreciate it. I'm within the 5 figures earning bracket and I too emphasize on investing in the right assets. Fancy cars can come later.If it was me in your shoes, i would rather drive a smaller Vios paid 100% by me rather than drive a much bigger car paid for by my parents.
