Car is the basic necessity for any youngsters starting to work unless you can rent/buy properties near to LRT and your working place is near to train stations too. Even if you take LRT and rent a room, it can be quite dangerous also as many snatch thief cases happened while walking back to the rented place. In this aspect of ensuring safety and ease of access to public transport, the 50 plus years government had failed us. Kudos for them for building LRT extension and MRT, but it is 10 or 15 years behind schedule really.

Not safe riding a motorbike though. Guys can ride but how many working office ladies ride motor to work?

Same advise. Rent until you can afford to buy. Buying a property is not a necessity. One can always rent

   

Another option... parents send you to work so don't need car... 

   

Can feel this forum getting very emo nowadays... my observation only la...

Another option, move to SG and enjoy the good access to transport. Work SG buy KL.

why not renting? do you have the pros of renting?

That is besides the point isnt it? That like saying if I employed a maid and the maid cooked lousy meal, then the maid said back to me," if u dont like the meal that i cook, u dont eat la. u go eat bread only". Also same like," you tak suka, you keluar malaysia la. sapa suruh u stay. nobody ask u to stay". 

How is that the same?
The gov does not owe you a nice cheap house in a good location the same way as the gov dun owe you a bmw!! If you can't afford to buy a bmw then buy a kancil. Otherwise buy motorbike. How can blame gov?

last time RM1 can buy 5 karipaps
Now RM2 only buy 5 karipaps
So RM10k now is RM5k for the prveious generation. Inflation inflation inflation.

And talking about previous generation screw us up, Who the hell agree with the existence of PROTON? Stupid morons! Should have known better. I was a small kid, so I dont know and cant say much. Previously I heard from people good branded cars were quite affordable by Malaysians after Merdeka. Then came PROTON and screw everything up for the new generations. Now good luck for us to buy good reliable cars that is worth the money. Good luck ever for the government to really do what they say and decrease the car price. They talk only, but they wont do it. Stupid previous generation.

Huh? Do u know what u r actually saying? Do u know that salary hasnt moved much but property prices have moved so much that gen Y cant catch up? And the loan period, we only have 35 years, not 40 years now, mind you. Even with 35 years, u think that is good affordability? We have to pay until we are old, liao. Yeah our salary hit rm10k by 30 years old. So what? A rm7k earner also finds it hard to afford normal houses these days. Not like last time. There is this thing called inflation too. Look it up. Remember, it is the gen x that shaped this screwed up malaysia for gen y. Not to mention that gen x inherited most of the lands from previous generation freely and sell and used the money gao2. Gen y got nothing mah. Check la which generation that boasts about having so much of land. Gen x or gen y? Gen x was imho the right generation to make money because they came in just after merdeka and development was quite rapid. Now gen y peeps have to be more creative to get the same wealth. Gen x gets scholarship  easily with stupid results. Gen y no way. Gen x easily gets a job with a degree. Gen y not easy to get a job with just a degree. Just because u r not gen y, dont think that situation is easier for us. I am speaking in general by not considering some exceptional cases.

Lets just concentrate on ease of buying property. Last time we never complain cant afford houses when we graduated. Because we are realistic. We knew we must work hard, save hard to buy property. It will be late 20s or early 30s before we buy our first property.

Nowadays, fresh grad complain they cant afford. Just compare to yourself. You bought property at 23. At our time, it was impossible. We dont have Dibs, zero entry cost etc etc. We must have 10-20% to buy. I will be laughing if i can buy property 1-2 years after graduation.

Be appreciative man

Thats why I said dont compare with me. maybe i was lucky coz also naik pangkat laju than the normal standard. but if u check the general gen-y, they are not doing good, bro. 1st house also kenot afford even though at 28 to 30 years old.

u can say they are lazy, they complain too much, they dont work hard enough but the fact that the majority of them are facing this issue. takkan semua teruk2 kot.

do you know what is the average age of house purchasers nationwide versus other countries?
