Then think you better save some $$$ 1st. If 2k savings p/m is your best effort, make sure you have around 40k savings before you make the plunge.

Btw chief, 5k monthly expense for a single 26 yr old chap is rather high. Maybe you can figure out a way to reduce expenses and at least save 3.5k p/m. IMO, if you can save 3.5k p/m now, then you can comfortably afford the house now.

Good luck    wink.gif

Thanks for advice. Ya, 5k is a bit too much, probably too much travelling. Will have to cut my travelling and see how it go. 3.5k should be an achievable target. Alrite, think i better be more discipline in saving. smile.gif

Btw, do u understand the logic of why you need to save 3.5k p/m for you to be able to afford the house now??  wink.gif

Haha, not really. Please advise on this.

I just think that if I can save 3.5k p/m, then after the loan repayment, I still can save 2k. Then it should be ok to continue grow my saving. Is this the logic?
