you are from serdang and been living there for 10 years, you wont get use to Setia Sky Residence, EkoCheras, Sunway Velocity 3, and Bamboo Hills.... those is simply not your life style, food also didnt taste as good as serdang.

you will change job 1 day, wont be forever working in TRX,for alternative solution i suggest you to rent studio/room temporary.

den if possible, rent out your serdang house (most likely you cant, because it your parent house and they need come kl twice per year, where they going to stay?)

dispose one of your old car away, you dont need to maintain 2 car... that is too much.


from my observation, buying house doesnt seem to be your priority, you are just bored of the current life style and looking for changes, eg: jogging in KLCC.. like to use public transport.. a place to stay on your own.. those is totally a different life style compare to your current.

go limteh with your friends and ask their opinion too, dont believe what stranger tell you in forum.

Actually for me I have another job offer coming in by 1Q26. Since I've been changing jobs frequently (3 jobs in 3 plus years) come 2026 i plan on sticking by for at least 5 years.

I'm not really a big fan of food, during my diet phase I can just eat boiled eggs for dinner and bread for breakfast. Lunch at office or wtv.

Youre right I cant dispose/rent the house in Serdang but my brother is taking over the mortgage. Im not going to dispose the cars because there's no loan - only need to pay maintenance, and car roadtax. Since I started using MRT last year I only spend RM100 for 2 cars per month on fuel.

But yeah, good idea for me to drink limteh further. I'm not in a rush to buy, Im thinking of buying by mid next year.

wah.. what job offer can wait you until 1Q26..

ok back to topic, the 2 car i ask you to dispose is not because of car loan, it because those place that you purchase, only big unit will offer you 2 car park, even they do, it be wise to rent out 1 car park instead of putting 2 old old car that you rarely use in your new fancy condo to rot... this is not fair to both car.

and since you decide to stay in TOD with LRT/MRT access, you will use car even lesser, RM100 for 2 cars per month for now... this kind of usage is way too low.. seem like u only use car travel to MRT .. when you use car A more, den car B will be using less, when you drive more den you will use lesser public transport.

sorry to heard that your brother is taking over the house, but it a good chance to move out and start a new life.
*pls consider dispose 1 of ur old car, go green, use more public transport.
