For context, I never had more than minimum wage salary before after spm, but after I finish my current study, my expected salary is around 8.5K to 10K depending on how much i work that month. The problem is i need to buy a car when i start working, and also i gotta pay my loans to the bank and my parents which both in total is 3K. The loans is to pay for my study I’m currently taking. My parents pay the other half of the fee. I know that buying a super cheap car is the best way, but i might wanna buy another car in the future to “upgrade” my lifestyle. So I’m looking to buy a not so expensive car within my salary range but not too cheap that i will have the feeling to buy a new one. My main concern is I’m afraid i will mismanage my unexpected jump in salary and spend my money on unnecessary things. So how should i manage my finances?
