Dun go to any leisure trip if you need to sell your assets for the trip.
This means you dun have leisure money. How can you go to a trip but you cannot afford it?
IF you cannot afford a car, just sell it. As long as you can afford one without severely affect your normal life, you can back another one in the future.
FOr the trip, it would the same principle. CAnnot afford = go late but not now.
Make up your mind and be clear with your financial position.
1) Car expense:
$2,500 monthly parking x 12 months = $30,000
$15/hr street parking x 4hrs x 2 days (Sat+Sun) x 4 wks x 12mths = $5,760
$500 fuel x 2 times per month x 12 months = $12,000
License = $5,000 per annum
Insurance = $2500 per annum
Repair and maintenance = $3,000 per annum
Total annual expense : at least $58,260
2) Japan trip
Depends on situation
2 people airfare + hotel package = $8,000 - 10,000
Meals : $100 x 3 x 5 days x 2 ppl =$3,000
Buy handbags, cameras, etc x 2 ppl = $10,000 - $20,000
Misc : $500 x 5 days = $2,500
Souvenior for friends and colleagues = $1,000
Total per trip = $36,500
As a conclusion, the total expesne of the 2 cases are similar. But:
1) For a car, it can give you a whole year enjoyment.
2) For a trip, it can only give you 4-5 days of happiness (except you will buy a lot of stuff). So
I would suggest you sell your car first, go for a trip now (before you have any child). THen after you have children, buy a car for them (coz you cannot go for trip for several yrs after u have a child)
