not really.. if you lay down the cost of the following:
a)2 cars, (minimum Myvi, 1.4k, if vios 1.8k)
b) petrol ( 700 both cars)
c) insurance cars ( yearly both cars 1.2 k.. monthly around rm100)
d) insurance medical cards ( for both monthly cheapest 130 per person, both 260)
e)food ( calculating on an average of RM 20 perday i.e breakfast rm4, lunch & dinner rm16,
so 21 working days= RM420
balance 9 or 10 days (weekends)= rrm280, assuming RM35 per day
total per person basic only= 700 per person
so 2 persons minimum 1.4 k monthly
f) parents money minimum 500 (both)
g) entertainment ( movies, GSC normal halls minimim RM14 per person, assuming per week 1 watch total 1 time 1 week, RM112)
h) internet bills, water bills, electricity bills= 140 + 40 + 160 (with air corn)=360
i) telephone bills + data plans if any = 88 X2 =180
j) credit cards ( 3 pieces), spending on clothings.. shoe.. socks= RM500 (BOTH)
k) car repairs, service ( RM200)
l) health supplements ( forever living, amway, and etc) monthly both = RM100
m) ladies shampoos, masks, toners, and etc= RM100
n) etc = rm200
o) SAVINGS =0
so, all in all a+b+c+.....n= 1800+ 700+ 100+260+ 1400+ 500+112+ 360+ 180+ 500+ 200+ 100+ 100 +200
=6512.00
So monthly 10k to 12 k gross, nett 8,900 or 10, 680.. minus PCB,sosco..8600 or 10k nett..
dude this is joint salary nett 8600 to 10k on an JOINT of RM10K to RM 12K
so nett joint salary - joint expenses =
A)2,088 ( 8600-6512) OR
B) 3,488 ( 10K -6512)
so if situation A were used to take up a loan 500k... 90% finance margin.. they have no savings or even e xtra money for the month.. this also can be done if these joint buyers has more than 80k at least as deposits and legal fees..and bare in mind 500k.. almost cant buy anything new especially flipped priced..this price ah.. apartment or at best service apartment (have to pay maintenance).. WAY TO GO for middle class... apartment
situation B would be slightlybetter.. they can buy /qualify palm walk 3 750k.. monthly repayment 3k plus maximum stretched and with at least 100k as deposit and legal fees..
based on both.. you guys still want to rise the house prices upwards... we shall see which pools of buyers are left if property shoot above 750k... if i miss out anyting anyone can correct please... TQ
a lot of the expenses you mentioned can be cut down...just want or don't want.
