I need a car for 2 years.

JediWaffles — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 12:59:30 +0800

Hi guys, I need some car-related financial advice.

I'm currently driving a 2007 Proton Persona with over 250k km on it. It breaks down about twice a year and makes so much noise when doing anything it sounds like a sick dog that wants to be put down. So I've accepted the reality that I need a new car but I'm also making plans to leave the country in about 2 years.

I've been obsessing over car depreciation values, leasing, resale market and etc but I can't quite decide what's the best move here.

Do I buy a new cheap car to get minimal depreciation?
Do I buy a new decent car in popular segment to try get good resale?
Do I buy crappy second hand?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Bank with great online transaction history?

Hi guys,

So I follow a very strict budget and try to track every ringgit I spend in an online spreadsheet. Of course sometimes my balance doesn't always even out so I have to log in to my Maybank2u and cross reference my spending. Now I realize how unhelpful the transaction history in Maybank2u is because 90% of it is just SALE DEBIT or random code with no clue as to who the spender is. The funny thing is that this only applies to my debit card spending and not my credit card (I try to avoid using my cc at all cost), which shows clear information. They even categorize my cc spending. Plus with debit I only get statements every 3 months which makes day-to-day tracking even harder.

My question: Is there a better bank out there with helpful online banking for all transactions and not just cc? Can anyone recommend a bank with services that would help in budgeting and tracking?

I apologize if this has been asked before and I appreciate any insight you might have, thank you very much.

Bringing home factory unlocked phone from U.S

Hi guys,

I'm currently living in the US and I hope to buy a factory unlocked phone to later bring home. From what little research I've done I know some phones have different hardware that different carriers use.

I'll just provide an example phone I was looking at:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-S6-...=item2ee2c3cf66

This particular phone only supports GSM networks.

I will most likely be returning to Digi but I'd probably just join any network that can run my phone.

I was wondering if anyone anyone out there knows if this will work out? I don't know much about network technology so any insight would be greatly greatly appreciated

Thanks!

So I'm currently hooked on Injustice, but its insanely hard to find someone to play against online. Their pings are always an absolute zero, so this post is a shout out to anyone who's looking for some friendly matches.

I'm playing on my PS3 on Region 3

My PSN is JediWaffles
Add me up and send an invite if you see me online. (its the only game I have anyways lol)

I'm very new to fighting games so don't expect much

And spread the word if you know any other Injustice players, lets get a little community going on or something
