how old were you when you bought your first car out of your own money?

since i am in college i've been dreaming of having and driving a car. . . when i became a lawyer at the age of 26, turning 27, i thought i can already buy one, but i was on a tight budget, pamilyado na kasi, so i waited for another 3 years. . . i was already 30 years old when i bought my first car, 2nd hand na nga lang, nag-loan pa ako sa savings and loan association para lang makabili

pero galant naman, matic pa.

buti pa yong friend ko, my classmate from elementary-high school, pagkapasa sa bar nong 2008, binilhan ng parents nya ng brand new toyota corolla altis. . yong another friend of mine, 3rd year pa lang sa college of medicine nong 2004 or 2005, binilhan din ng parents nya ng brand new toyota vios . iba-iba lang talaga ang swerte ng tao. . .

how about you guys?

Ako naman 33 years old nung mabili ko tsikot ko coralla XL na pang taxi type. Haay....hindi kasi tayo kasing palad ng kakilala natin, sila yung pinagpala, anak ng Diyos o yung sinasabi ng iba na Born with the silver spoon.

32 years young ako ng binili ko yung aking 96vti (bnew), hanggang ngayun gamit ko pa at running smoothly, parang ang hirap ng bitawan dahil first car ko.

When me and my wife bought our bnew Innova last August 2010 I was 28 years old. Naka loan sa bank and we are paying for the monthly in our own. Yung DP din inipon namin.

ganon din po ako. i purchased my first car on sept. 2009 lang po, but i'm planning to preserve it/i-vintage kahit na makabili pa ako ng another car/SUV in the future.

yon nga e, pati sa car maintainance, medyo nahihirapan pa akong mag-budget lalo na kung sabay-sabay ang household expenses. samantalang yong iba, professionals na, binibigyan pa rin ng parents nila ng allowance/financial aid. kung minsan, nakakaingit talaga. pero siguro, someday, yong mga bagay na di kaya sa ating ibigay ng parents natin e, maibibigay natin sa mga anak natin.

25 years old. That was a year ago.

That is the car that I'm driving now. 99 civic vti
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.

pero iba naman ang feeling na we were a able to buy our own car out of our own money di ba? this is a sign of our success.

then, my next project would be buying my own house and lot, then, brand new or slightly used SUV naman. hehe!
