A young man expressed his regret because he is left with only RM50 after buying a BMW superbike.
The 26-year-old whose salary has reached RM6,000 a month thought he had enough to afford his his dream motorcycle which costs RM129,000 (the price for a BMW S 1000 RR).
But it turns out that he has got his budget wrong. He turned to social media to express his frustration by posting on X, “It’s true that people say superbikes is actually a hobby for the rich.
“Now it’s only the middle of the month, after renewing the road tax, servicing this and that, leaving only RM50 for food.
“I don’t know if I can survive until the end of the month,” he complained.
As usual, netizens were quick to respond because to them, he should have practised better money management. There were also who said that the superbike is only suitable to those who are not salaried and earn a five-figure income every month.
“Give any salary, it’s not enough if you’re extravagant, you’re not good at managing money. High salary, high lifestyle, it’s not enough,” commented a netizen.
Some gave financial advice.
“Logically, RM50 will not be enough until the end of the month. But if you borrow or use your savings, you can.”
“Just sell the bike. Is the best way if it’s burdensome,” said another netizen.
