Hi,
Is it worth to buy a house or a car first for working adult with monthly salary of RM 3000?
Having 2 loans together might have high loan interest rate or one of the loan will be rejected by the bank as bank might think that I am not able to pay the loan.
Is it better to have at least one credit card so that the chance of getting a loan will be much higher?

If you can stay away from getting a credit card, please do so but if you’re confident that you will not overspend using a credit card then go. If it were ne, I’d buy a house first. Taking a public transportation will get you a good exrcise daily.

Yup, overspending using credit card is the root cause to make an individual to have financial problem or to the worse case that is bankrupt. I think I will not overspent as I always buy things when really need it.
However, we need to show bank that we are a good master payer then we can get the housing loan easily and slightly lower interest rate.

I agree with you. A property is an asset and will increase in value throughout the years.
Cars will depreciate in value along the years.
However, having a house need to think of money for renovation and maintaining it. Plus, getting bank o approve the housing loan is also a major challenge.

How about car? If rely on public transport, it might be a problem as the arrival time is follow the scheduled time and some places is not covered by it.

I think I will buy a house first. Houses are more as necessity. Without a car, you could always commute.

But, some part of the places are not directly reachable by public transport and the arrival schedule is not strictly follow.

I will go by what @sharon6345.
Think what makes you happy and what is more important. Mostly around me I have seen people buying house first... But that's okay go what you desire
