how is $500 a month for a car is alot? at best you can only lease a camry or accord.
If you are willing to pay $500 a month for 3 years why don't you just save it for a big lump sum?
and if I am just leasing it (not owning it), i won't pay $500 a month tim lor

to parents: $1000/month each side?? I think it's really A LOT...
its not too bad IMO...considering that i have been already giving them 1k a month right now when i am earning much less...i would love to give them more when i earn more in the future....

i really wonder how ppl can survive in Vancouver with their little salary and high tax
go earn your money else where, then come back to live in van when you have money
On the other hand, I wonder how people can survive in HK with their not-too-much salary but high expense (even less tax)?!
And if I'm rich (I mean real rich), I won't consider Vancouver the best place for retirement lor.

~ $300 a month for gas is minium for average driver la say doing ~2,000 -2,500km a month .. average 12L/100km to drive around town .. so need 250L-300L gas a month and $1.4 / L .. will be ...
Sorry a bit OT but 2000-2500km a month to me is A LOT! Van is a relatively "small" place wor. From downtown Van to southern part of Richond is around 25k, so even 50k per day, 30 days x 50k = 1500km ...and on weekend we may not even drive to "downtown" that far right... still below $200 gas...
We have a SUV and we drive to Richmond from downtown almost daily...and also run lots of errands in Richmond too. We have to fill up on gas about twice a month, each time $80 ..so around $160 per month.
I find that it's the small trips around Richmond that burn up the gas the most...esp. with the construction and traffic on No.3 Rd, you can burn up a tank of gas quite quickly.

Don't wanna get into too technical. But well, really depends on the car model, driving distance, driving frequency, and driving habit la. I believe spending $1000 gas per month is just very rare case la.
you must get a really decent job/ rich parents then.
a reminder for you, everyone who replies in this forum still survives =)
