    ^^^In the case of modern vehicles, a big factor to be considered is not just BUYING but also OWNING the car. It is true that we may have the budget to buy (DP plus monthly payments) a vehicle but the daily expenses associated with OWNING needs to be factored in. There is fuel, toll, cleaning, and most importantly MAINTENANCE needs of the vehicle.

    Puro negative vibes naman ang thread na to obviously because of the topic itself of banks repossessing cars when you default the payment. On the other hand, mas pumogi ako nung nagka kotse ako. I must say na BONUs na lang yung social status but my main reason for getting a car is to enroll sa Uber. :D

    Don't forget parking. You can get a smaller car to save on fuel, you can sell your car after 4-5 years to avoid maintenace costs...but you will still need to park your car somewhere.

    This. This. This. One of our neighbors only has two parking slots and they park their two other cars outside. When they have a guest, their guest sometimes parks in front of our house. We already complained before and they fired back that we have more cars. That wasn't the point because all our cars are parked inside the house. We never ever park a single car outside our house. I really hope they implement that law which will prevent those without parking to buy cars. They do this in Japan and the police personally visit your place to see if you have a parking slot for the new car you wish to purchase. Then again, people may just buy cars from other people to circumvent this.

    Very true! It is a welcome perk if your job offers free parking. If you live in a condo, a parking slot is a separate property space to buy or rent from the condo admin.

    Actually, there is this process that you have to at least own all types of cars for the desire to fade away, if you are a car guy,

    I've had sedans, Cuvs, 4x4 Pickups, Diesel Crossover, Mid-Size SUV and the 2M+ SUV. i even drove an American Van for a year, hand me down hehe. Kelangan nyo talaga pag daanan yun to kill the urge coz you'll always wonder

    The problem nga lang ngaun is these cars are very expensive na, so good luck.

    I used to think that way too. In the 70s growing up in a provincial town, I could literally count the cars with my fingers in my left hand. One of them was a Gran Torino owned by a retired US Navy serviceman and the other an Opel Berlina. The third one was a "Sakbayan", a local version of the Beetle with pointy corners, that was used as a mobile patrol car by the police. I don't remember the others, or perhaps I don't because there were really no other cars then.

    Btw, one reason why you csnt escape the trap of always seeking material things is your chosen companion. If the mother of the love of your life is ga-bariles at lagi nasa bahay at parlor parlor lang with all those coloretes sa mukha at buhok, chances are like mother like daughter. Decide now if you will love her forever kasi ganyan din ang uwi ng buhay like the rest of 80% of Filipinos and 90% of Obese Americans who chased the American dream

    Find an energetic girl who will ride it with you in ups and downs of life, kahit di gano madami material things, always ready for adventure with you. This will serve as your check and balance, kasi darating lagi yun life message to Settle down, which also has the meaning as just stay home with your expensve things and get fat and uninterestng, and unstimulated.

    Remember the maslows needs heirrachy , pang 3rd level lang dun ang American Dream of materialism . There's more to life than that

    99% of all Filipinas are the work and go home type of women. They don't want you doing adventurous things because you're the breadwinner and the source of income. They don't want anything happening to you. Forget being adventurous.

    On most outdoor activities, I usually go it alone as do most guys who married Filipinas.

    Based on what I can recollect over the past 21 years I've been married. It is scientific? Probably not.

    Starting with my wife, she has no interest in:

    Live sporting events

    Outdoor activities such as snorkeling, camping, spending time in nature

    Hunting/fishing for our food then cooking and eating them

    Getting a little wet from the rain without her going into a panic about how were are going to get sick because of a few drops

    Real "extreme" activities such as as skydiving. Twice when I was younger, I was invited by my coworkers to take part in their weekend skydiving group. Twice, the wife was vehemently against it to the point she would have made my life a living hell if I disobeyed her.
    -----

    Expand the above to include her friends who were almost always Filipinas and like-minded. We became members of the local Fil-Am groups at places we lived at. Same story. All the activities are pretty mundane. We can't even get them to do river-boating:



    If it's just me, forget it. If several of us hubbies went out as a group, we're allowed. But, none of the wives would come with us. They'd spend their time doing pot lucks while we were gone.

    -----
    We spent six years in Upstate New York which is an outdoors paradise. Did we take advantage of it? Nope. I'm more than game. But, the wife always played the part of spoiler. Unfortunately, she's setting a bad precedent for the kids who are becoming more like her. They rather go to the mall than spend time camping and enjoying the outdoors.

    Maybe she chooses to be a homemaker instead of going out, i have friends whos wives chooses to come with us, sometimes even besting the husband, about the 9-5 thing, here in the P.I, Its the women that creates what we call extra income, they became entrepreneurs, i dealt with some good ones to the point where their husbands had to quit their jobs to help in their growing bussiness, a good wife is the one that lets you think youre superior so our egos wont get hurt, but in truth they know better, thats why we call them our better half

    Based on what you said, one-sided ka bro. When I said go with an adventure with your wife, I didn't mean dalhin mo sya sa outdoor activities of men only.

    What I did was I learned how to grocery, read health labels, and even studied how to prepare healthy food. We men are more scientific and logical than women, so apply mo yun sa craft nila. I even studied Juicing and attended lectures from local Juicer influencers .


    The goal is to make your wife feel like a woman within their comfort zone and the outcome is them feeling a bit more esteemed, and what other way can you make women feel that they 're beautiful

    On your part, obviously you cannot live in healthy salads or chit-chats with the wife and friends. So pag may free time ka, araro ka naman sa craft mo to keep your body work double time. Lift more weights, run more kilometers, and transparent na sya Kanya yun.


    We can always compromise with our loved ones and not sacrificing masculinity ...

    Dapat yata ang Kotse o SUV na bibilhin mo eh kasya ung Gabariles na Asawa, so an Everest might do the trick. Mura na, kasya pa Balyena na kuntodo makeup at cutex. Pag sinwerte ka pa baka gawing bahay na ung Everest dahil doon nalang lagi nakaupo at laging umiikot sa mga parlor gamit ung sasakyan. :hysterical:
