rocknroll 2nd Gear March 31, 2015 Share March 31, 2015 Not too difficult. Great that you have ambition to begin with. 1. First use your Getz to find a girlfriend that makes as much as you (i.e. $4K). 2. Marry her. Now your household income is above national average. 3. Buy a HDB at a good location, but that both of you can afford. Ask parents to pay the cash downpayment if possible. 4. Rent out a room or two for extra income. 5. Live frugally and save at least 50% of your combine income + rental income. 6. Take bus and MRT when your Getz COE is up. 7. After a few years, you should be able to afford the downpayment for C-Class ($90K?). 8. Monthly payment shouldn't be a problem as you have learned to save. Not too difficult, right? :) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invigorated Supercharged March 31, 2015 Share March 31, 2015 Actually even if your wish to fork out most of that pay, banks will also not be willing to loan out that much unless there's a guarantor. Like others have said, it's good to have a dream. sideline perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Supersonic March 31, 2015 Share March 31, 2015 (edited) depends on what engineer (technical skillset) ... what knowledge (industry) ... what experience (specific) ... if the knowledge, experience and the person "capability" is highly sought after ... pay is no issue the big question is what company, what field ... a person need to understand his "worth" if the 10 years knowledge is in a sunset industry ... no matter how tok kong also no use ... hard truth need to change and adapt to new challenge ... just like a super high tech pager has no place in today because no one wants ... even mighty blackberry and nokia is dead ... The moment I read 4k 33years old with masters and $150 pay increment...I knew it. Must be an engineer, probably stuck with the same company for the past few years. Many engineers are in the same situation. Singapore is just not the place for engineering. Even if you have a phd, it will be hard to exceed 5k at age 30. Grad with a simple accountancy or business degree and you will laugh at your engineering phd peers. So the best and most cruel advice anyone can offer you is to quit your job and go somewhere else. No engineering, please. Maybe you will take a pay cut, probably you won't. What I can assure you is that 10 years from now, you will thank me and be driving the next new c-class. For those who think otherwise or claim they have good positive experience with engineering, please do a simple market survey of today's market. Fresh engineering grads are paid high, but increment is usually 3% or so with little chance of promotion, unless you jump ship.

TanSoonHuat 1st Gear March 31, 2015 Share March 31, 2015 Only drive a mercedes if you can afford, as cars in Singapore is a depreciative asset, save enough for 2 years and you are eligible for a house which is a better choice. I also want to drive a merc but after much calculation still cant afford to own one and even if i can afford, I will be struggling to make end meets.

limejuice 1st Gear March 31, 2015 Share March 31, 2015 Frankly , 4k salary it is wiser to not own car but save up. After you have a family and earn more then buy car. With a car and your salary how to save ? I ever told a friend who asked me for advice when want to buy car, it fell on deaf ear and later he regretted. Like many bros have said it...earning 4k is hardly alot given the prices of cars now...better off saving it and invest in assets e.g. house rather than in liabilities....no offense but the economic climate in singapore or for that matter the rest of the world is pretty volatile, as compared to years ago. Moreover, you are in the software industry and that makes it more unpredictable.....unless u climb up up up... just my 5cents Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
