If you have a very credible investment plan, with timelines and rates of return, then focus on investing the money. Use the earnings later on to buy a car. A not-so-hands-on investor with ₱1,000,000 can easily make another ₱1,000,000 in 5 years.

Now if you don't have a concrete investment plan, don't even think about getting a car because that's practically just throwing money away.

Masarap magka-kotse, pero mas masarap magkapera.

Thanks sir for your remarkable insights. Appreciate it.
Especially the last part, hehe. Totoong mas masarap magkapera.

My family has a 90's sedan which served us well but already sold it away..
When i got married, i only settled for just a motorcycle going for work.
By the time i got kids, a scooter won't now benefit a family of four.
Tried to buy a very cheap old school sedan and a minivan multi cab, but it only ended giving me headaches and disappointments. So got rid of them and started saving instead.

Short story,we became small entrepreneurs and we're doing well(internet cafe,buying and selling computers, and other online stuffs). Now i'm thinking of buying even just a Hatchback for affordability and efficiency.
Will be used overall for business and some family trips.
My scooter can still accommodate but obviously not for a family hehe.
With a bad history of owning some in the past, made me come into this crossroad.

Anyway, i'm reading threads similar to this dilemma.
Sometimes the needs now dominates over the wants.
Again thanks for the advice. More Power!!
