hey, good advice man - I'm in similar situation as TS. In my mid30s have fully paid my house and car. Thinking of another car or house. And I have to agree with house for stay only, house for investment seems like too much hassle
I was looking for like a vacation home (cum retirement home when I retire) maybe in PD/Langkawi - something close to beach - accommodation is always the most expensive part of a vacation if you're travelling locally, so having a vacation home seems like a good idea

When I used to work in the US (north side where its super cold during winter) - my coworkers would invest in house in the south, like in Florida - as vacation homes and also for retirement when they old so they can escape the harsh winter

Can buy car with CC? Sure boh? Can get cashback? Maybe will buy a car later this year or next year.

Hey guys, I'm in my 30's now and I'm still single. I own a condo but still drives my dad's old Proton Waja to this day.

I'm wondering, at this point, do I purchase another house/condo (for investment purposes) or do I get myself a brand new car?

My heart tells me that I should get myself a new car (Mazda or Camry) but my gut is telling me to get a second property for investment.

So, I've listed down the pros and cons of each choices:

Buy new car
Pros:
1. It's probably time to replace my old waja. It's 20 years old.
2. Better chance to get girlfriend
Cons:
1. It's a liability. It's just a car at the end of the day.
2. Potential opportunity cost (e.g cannot invest in other things for a while)

Buy second property
Pros:
1. Potential long-term investment (not guaranteed and have to wait 10-30 years)
2. You have two houses
Cons:
1. Life is not all about buying houses like collecting pokemon cards. You need to enjoy life when young too.

What would you guys do?

New car, the waja is not a safe car
