Hello to Hive Fam,

I hope that life is treating you well wherever you are in this part of the world.

Buying a car is a dream for many people, and I am one of them, having had this dream for many years. For the last few years, I have been dreaming of owning a car, but I could not make it a reality because of the constant budget but this year seems the dream will become a reality. I could have done it before if opted to go with the car loan, but I'm a kind of person who is against liabilities, so I always thought that when my budget allows, I will buy the car and I will not go for the loan option. I have no liabilities on my shoulders, and it is because I never want to buy anything that I cannot afford. I'm going with the loan is like I'm buying something that does not give the real ownership, and that's the reason why I just stay away from this trap. My money management philosophy is simple: that own something when I'm really ready to own it, and for that, I need to have enough amount of money in my pocket.

Because of this, I have been saving some money from the last few years and also invested, which has given a good return. So finally I am ready to buy my first car in this year 2025, but if you talk about the dream, then it is before the COVID-19 lockdown. A new model has been launched by the Maruti Suzuki brand, and it is called Victories, which is a compact SUV. And I'm thinking of buying this car this year.

I have visited the showroom and got the quotation for a few models of this car, and this car looks good. I had thought to go for the hatchback first, but then I decided that I should go for a compact SUV, and obviously not a sedan, because sedans are now out of the league, and a lot of people prefer not to go for sedan cars.

The colour I want is on the waiting so I need to wait for a couple of weeks, and because I'm not going to avail the loan facility so once it is available, I can buy it without any further waiting. It's a straightaway shopping trip, which I will do, and for that, I have already done the booking for the car, so once it is available, the showroom will inform me, and then I'll pay a visit and buy the car, which is my first ever car that I will own. I also thought about going for pre owned cars but changed my mind because I am new and I don't understand that how this car mechanism works so I don't want to be in a situations when I keep on paying to the garage for the service and repair and this is why I decided that I will go for the new car only even if it takes time So that I can have a Peace of Mind for next few years.

It is not less than any big achievement in my life because I have waited for many years to own this, and still that day has not arrived, but the gap is not so big that it cannot be more in a few weeks. In any case, this year, 2025, is going to be the year for me when I will finally own a car, and I'm sure it is going to be an exciting achievement for me. Thank you!
