Hi all, I'm a fresh graduate in need of a car. I was thinking of Myvi 1.5 54k or 68k kia Rio?
My monthly salary is 2.2k after epf and socso. I have no commitment at the moment. My parents will help me down 10k. The question is can I afford it?

After u buy car...

Petrol (for me, around RM300 a month)
Service car (my experience...u estimate about RM100-150 a month)
Car insurance and road tax

teach u a trick to make sure u won't have problem paying car insurance...
u only pay once a year
let's say when u buy car, insurance + road tax is RM2K
RM2K / 12 months = RM166.67
so, u put RM166.67 aside every month, u MUST NOT use it no matter what happens

Now, u do your own calculations wink.gif

Guys, how much of health insurance coverage do I need?
I am not married and currently age of 24.
I was being offered 1million by the agents, I am afraid I'll be over insured.

Best Regards.

while waiting for more value added info from sifus with the right unbiased insight to response...
may I know, how much is your income/net worth?
any liabilities/loan?
is your work risky or dangerous to one health?
are your engaged in any dangerous activities?
is your parents able to handle themselves financially (if you are not able to?) (any brothers or sisters can help)?

You just need a basic medical card. Just stay fit and healthy and use the extra money to save/invest

I already have 40k medical card from my company but It is only there for me to use while im employed.
So you are saying i need to buy one myself? If yes how much coverage do i need?

Thanks.

Best Regards!
