Should I save up for a car or just get an apartment once I graduate.

[lachreyatarbabypits]

I was originally looking to buy a car because the bus is making me depressed, but I'm getting annoyed by the whole process. I prefer to live in Harlem and have my own place but I want to have a steady job by then. Right now I'm working but its part time and I have no clue of what the future holds. So right now it's either I buy a car with the money i have or just say fukk it and continually save so I can have my own place. Weighing the costs, having a car is less on the pocket but I'd rather move out than have a car. The only thing that worries me is what if I have to move back home for some reason. I'm between a rock and a hard place.

if u have to choose between the two, car>apt....you'll spend WAY more money on the apt than the car

From your situation, I'd rank it:


1. apartment
2. stay put
3. car

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Apartment. The freedom of having your own place

 

[The Nigerian]

Apartment. Anyone telling you car is an idiot.

Don't move to an apartment with a part-time job until you have a full-time job lined up or have a large amount in savings to float on. That would be the worst thing you could do.

 

[jdubnyce]

based on your situation, stay put at home; save more/get a full time steady job then get an apartment

Coming from a dude with 2 cars and house. Get a nice car and some cool roommates. You'll have more fun and some money.

Exactly. fukk the car, get a place. Parking in NY is a bytch, not to mention all the fukking rules. You have the whole city at the palm of your hands just a metro card away.

You guys realize NY isnt just Manhattan right? I hate when people say this. Come to Queens and try to move around without a car and then tell me that. Subway is the only convenient transport in this city. The bus is slow as fukk ad takes a hour to get somehwere that would take 10 minutes by car.

You said Harlem

Which is manhattan

Having a car is the biggest thing halting financial growth. Throw payments, repairs, insurance etc in the bushes and get a bike

Keep doing what you doing now breh! no need to rush things! save up, wait for that steady job then proceed to get an apartment, then a car. But do not rush into anything right now breh! Just stack ya money up. The greatest freedom in the world is not mobility but financial freedom.

priorities my friend.

Stay Put and Save Cash
Get an Apartment
Get yourself living NICE
Continue to live NICE
THEN POSSIBLY get a car.

If I ever move back to NYC (Which might happen next year), I wont be driving. WTF do I look like paying those crazy ass fees just to park my damn car?

The sh1t is not even worth the hassle IMO, but then again I am all Manhattan...just the way it is.
