even if car is free...petrol, carpark, season parking, ERP is already $500 (mine is closer to $800) per month.

Only those working a few years, with a decent salary, good grades and bonuses (at a good company, maybe get $20-30k each time, $5k basic with average 4 months to 6 months bonus) that never spend all on holidays, can afford to buy a simple car, drive it regularly and maintain it. If dont earn as much, target 2nd hand COE cars... but the monthly cost still the same...with higher maintenance cost

I don't buy large amount of rice and food just to afford a car... :cry:
Sometimes I skip even lunch for my fuel money.
life is hard.
