sarap ng feeling pag yung oto mo galing sa dugo't pawis mo.

BTW, I'm an engineer. Medyo pinalad kaya nakabili ng oto.

God is good.

All the time!

...mine at age 36,talagang sariling sikap,mahilig kasi ako sa sasakyan kaya kahit xlt jeep lang pinagsikapan kong makabili noon,nag-ofw ako para makaipon;

now i'm a proud owner of 3 cars and 2 motorbikes,talagang hirap at pawis kasi ang puhunan kaya masarap ang pakiramdam pag nakikita mo ang pinagpaguran mo:cool01:;

26 when I started working abroad. After 3 yrs, I purchased a 2nd hand 2002 Corolla (bank loaned) and after 4 yrs I paid it off. Sold it and replaced with my 2nd car--06 Accord.

Bought the first car with my own money at age 26, ni-loan ko sa bank but I paid 60% DP (ayaw ko kasi yung masyado malaki ang utang), it was a 2003 CRV, yun nga lang, sold it after 3 months and bought a second hand MB. I used the proceeds from the sale of the CRV then paid off my bank loan, yung sobrang pera ang pinangbili ko ng MB. That was the last time na bumili ako ng car under financing.

i paid for it when i was 23 pa, last Nov 2010... but i drove it when i was 24 na, Dec 2010...

im proud of it coz it's my own money... i never really thought of buying one but ever since i moved in Metro Manila - i thought i really need it and it's a necessity.. hirap mag taxi dito eh, dami salbahe and abusadong cab drivers.. and di rin ako marunong mag jeep or bus or mrt...

At age 22, after I graduated from college and taught for a couple of trimesters in the university,- during my first year working in the industry.

During my teaching days,- nauubos lang ang suweldo kakakain sa college canteen....

These are short great stories of success.

success story na pala ang buying a car

i thought a success story is like building a restaurant brand and selling majority stake to Jollibee for P3,000,000,000

I really admire those people who became financially independent and were able to make big purchases in their 20s. I can't figure out how some people do it. In my first job my officemates and I were even abunado with our salary. I couldn't even afford to pay for gas then.

I do hope someday I could afford to buy my own car or even better buy my parents a car
