M’sian Doctor Downgrades From Volkswagen To Proton Perdana Despite Making RM6,000

Originally used for transportation, cars now also function as status symbols in today’s superficial society.

This Malaysian doctor recently shared his troubles with making monthly loan payments despite earning a respectable wage.

In his post, he said:

“Good bye, Volkswagen!

“When I was younger, I was really proud to be able to drive a Volkswagen, but nobody saw that I had a loan that cost me about RM 160,000!” he wrote.

“I will have to pay RM2,000 per month in car loan payments. I had no financial expertise and only wanted to live life to the fullest.”

“However, I realised that my financial choices were off course when my wife and I chose to start a family and have children.

“I ultimately decided to sell my Volkswagen and “downgrade” to a Proton Perdana,” he declared.

He mentioned that:

“For the sake of my children’s future, I must sacrifice this.”

Ridzuan concludes the article by noting:

If you’re “poisoned” by the desire for German vehicles, it’s risky since you’ll wind up making hasty decisions and failing to pay attention to what matters.
