For this weeks blog , I've decided to talk about a major milestone in everyone's life. The purchasing of a first car. This Seen as a tradition in media be it movies or tv series as well as a major stepping stone into adulthood and ownership, I personally looked forward to this moment as to own something that belongs to me, something I bought for myself through hard work and grit. Unfortunately this step came abit sooner than expected for me due circumstances that I could not avoid. I found myself living in msida whilst attending mcast in mosta this proved to be a major disadvantage due to the hard ever changing timetable and to put it in appropriate language the crap bus system. I had a certain amount of money in my bank account and set out on looking for a car for me.
This was the second time I had to comedown to a decision that would affect my future. Should I purchase a reliable second hand car or purchase a car I would like and end up paying via a payment scheme or a loan. From the first time I saw the Volkswagen Beetle on the tv series charmed I've wanted to have it as my first car it was and still is a dream of mine, to have my beetle outside my house however when looking into it I found myself with gel options go for something I can't afford right now of buy a car that I could afford now and think about the future. After speaking to various people, including friends, family and researching online I weighed up my options and came to the decision that a first car, especially for a gozitan in Malta should not be a brand new car because apart from it being beyond my financial grasp it would be a risky move from my end knowing I had hardly any driving experience in Malta. Therefore I had to ignore what my heart wanted and went with my brain and bought a reliable second hand car that was within my price range.
