Between Owning A Car Or House Which Would You Advise Someone In His 20's? by Easyincome24: 5:16pm On Oct 17, 2023
It's good one plans his/her life early enough to avoid story that touches.

Some of our parents never believed that the country will become what it is today.

My father told me how cheap lands were in the country when he was in his 20's. He regretted not investing enough due to shouldering many responsibilities especially bringing his siblings and extended families to the city. He nurtured them till they became of age. When he realized what's up, time has exceeded him as we the children have needs too.

Now, I'm asking the following question: between owning a car or house, which would you advice someone in his 20's to acquire first?

Both can yield returns as long as they can be used in the proper way for investment.

Can we have more people comment on this to help many who are still in their 20's and able to fund any of the assets?

Note: Some young folks are doing legit work earning in $$$. I have some techy guys in their 20's as software developers, Blockchain DAOs, Freelancers, Content creators, YouTube influencers, Social Media Marketers, 3D animators, AI engineer, Bitcoin minning. They evolve around tech working remotely. So, not all of these guys in their 20's are yahoo yahoo, at least these ones I can guarantee.

We engaged in a discussion where they raised the above question about which is best between owning a car or house at their ages.

Depends on whichever comes top on ur priority list.

Owning a house is is good if you can afford to build one

Buying a car is also good. Hope u aiint getting the car to start gallivanting town cos that's what most youths think car is solely meant for..

Owning a house is a long term investment and a liability for your age. Land is better.

Do you have needs for a car? If yes, hold lands and buy a car. Building is not worth it if you just starting up. You will end up caging your money.


You can use remainder to invest in good stocks. Google, Raytheon and Amazon

You could also hold rare coins.


At your age, it’s guaranteed you will smile in +15 years and will have more than enough to build if you choose.

You buy a Car if it is an asset to your job ..since most of you work remotely, it is better to have a house ... I know tech guys who work remotely with fine cars they don't drive out in six months...

I disagree with your last statement.
Cars have expiry date, maybe you may let this make more sense.
I accept it could be a liability of not been used for business.

One can buy some completed apartment and lease it out. What about that too?
I understand the aspect of buying a landed property as well.

How much will you buy a completed apartment?

Lets average at 40 million. How much rent and years will it take you to recover that cash and get into profit? Maintenance excluded.

You can make better investment and same time spread your risk with such amount.

What about outright sale off after acquiring?
If it's a tastefully built environment, that can go as high as N75M-N100M.

If you carefully invest in a choice area that is guaranteed of appreciating, it might be worth it.

Now put into consideration devaluation of the Naira against the dollar, Do you think appreciation will be worth it when you plan to sell?

But if you calculate VERY well. You could get it right.

Land, long-term investments like stocks, commercial papers, or bonds.

What do you want to do with a house in your 20s knowing very well that you would probably relocate 20 times within the next 10 years?

A remote worker without a family? What do you want to do with a car, sir?

There are certain things you don't do unless you are one of the most sought-after professionals. A certified doctor or surgeon can decide to blow his salary in his 20s and 30s and he still won't suffer in his old age. Try it in your 20s with your remote bitcoin mining job (or with any of these new generational jobs/industries) and watch adverse penury dine with you before age 35. Use your head oo.

With new generational jobs (tech, etc.), you have to secure your future before any instant gratification.

Sounds wise. Someone up the thread kicked against this his reason being that one is still young. But he affirms investing on land at this tender age.

in some state,buying land and keep it for future purpose is a risk.the place i stay before,there,they are capable of selling a land to numerious people;therefore,there would be a serious fight the buyers.

Owning A Car or House?

It depends on your needs at the moment and why want to.

For investment purpose and to earn huge capital gains as a result of value appreciation, buy land instead in a secure location (Secure location) preferably you buy from reliable real estate companies.

And nothing stop you to go ahead and buy land then build house, in as much you have capacity to do that. It's a very good idea.

Buying Cars currently will likely drain you and makes you to spend more, looking at the cost of fueling at the moment, you will definitely spend more on Car and it depreciate in value over time.

But if you want the Car for business purposes is still okay but have it in mind that, Car business is high risk and very volatile.

But if the Car is for personal use unless you already have sound means of earning incomes. Car will make you to spend more at the moment, people who already have Cars currently do pack it at home to join public transports.

Even no hold up on Lagos road currently unlike we used to experienced. That's a very good signal

All the best.

It depends on the perspective you are coming from.

1. If financial power is not a problem, house.
2. If financial power is a hassle, car.

The people who got Toyota corrolas and Camry's three to four years ago will be selling to make gains now. You get? So, in this perspective, car gets it.

But, landed property will always trump car anytime. My landlord is earning money from me via the house his father built many years ago. I can't say the name about the reigning Peugeot 504 car back then.

Business that generates daily Income.

From the proceeds of the business, you can make other investments such as channeling the funds into rental income properties (houses and shops).
