Sketches of Life

I have finally decided not to buy a new car. I really hope I will stick to this decision. It has nothing to do with the petrol hike. I was thinking, what is main purpose of getting a new car? My answer is, so that we can travel outstation or go holiday without borrowing other’s car. Then I thought to myself, how often can we go for holiday? The most, maybe 4 times a year (locally of course) because we do not have the time and on top of that, petrol is so expensive now. Which means everything else will increase price too.

Rather than paying about RM500 a month to own a new car so that we could go for holiday 4 times a year, I’d rather rent a car which would cost about RM400 for 3 days. We can’t go away for a long holiday, we have work commitment. Like I wrote before, we might not afford to go for frequent holidays if we have the car loan to pay ever month.

The last trip to Genting, we rented one of hubby’s brother’s car since we knew that he need every extra cash he can get to pay for his home loan. Rather than giving our money to strangers, better give to our own relative. Got discount some more!

So any relatives reading this blog and in need of extra cash, do let us know. Our next trip outstation would be in August and we need to rent a car.

Stumble it!
