Which is more important buying a house or a car?

It depends on the amount of money that i have and on the place i am living, in my country buying a car and also buying a house is very hard and expansive, and most of the time peoples living in the big city buy a car transportations, but peoples living outside the big city they buy house because the price is not that high like on the city. personally if i have that money i would buy a house.
 
This is more of a preference rather than which is more important. For some they would go for a car first. For me i would want to have my personal house first before getting a car if possible.
 
if you are just starting out as a young person which one would you prefer to go first for. Would you buy a car or buy a house?
I will buy a house first , because while the former is an asset , I see car as a liability even though it does solve transport issue but at the same time I will always have to spend on buying fuel and also maintaining the car and still can't be sold for a lesser price in the future.
 
Perhaps a young person today would prefer to have a car first, but in reality between these two choices, the priority would be to have one's own home.

Yeah it is good to go for an asset that you can then use the returns to go for a liability as a reward.

It depends in my country peoples living in big city don't own house but they have cars, and that is because it is very difficulty to go to work and do their day to day activates without a car, and the price of house in big country is very very expensive.

Yes, I understand that houses are expensive and even rented ones, but I wonder, with a car but without a house, where can a person live?

You are right a young person would want to pull in car and leave getting a house for later.
 
Buying a car is not essential in places where the public transport is good. Having your own house, is highly recommended, since you do not have to pay rentals, and you can keep things you own.
 
Well everyone depends on the country they live in, in my city, although public transport is at the limit of decency (just not to say worse) however, I always get around the city without using the car. This is why I find this vehicle: expensive, impractical, and very difficult to find parking.

Some young people actually want to have their own car, but this only happens when their parents can allow it. But this is not something for everyone.

Yes you can get by with public transport with good public transportation but you need a house
 
If i have the option to choose between buying a house or a car, i will definitely go for a house. I can still help myelf with public transports to anywhere and come back to my house knowing that i am the owner gives joy than a rented apartment.
 
Yeah it is good to go for an asset that you can then use the returns to go for a liability as a reward.
An asset will surely give you return but most people might require to show off and go for car since they can always show it around.
 
It all depends on the individual's goal. Some people would rather own a car first. For my part, I'd like to have my own space initially. A condominium, to be precise. I'd like to have a space where I can do whatever I want. A single-story house is also acceptable to me because it can appreciate over time.

Yeah and even sell the house or use it for rental when you get a better one which makes it more of an asset compare to car.

Yes a house is an asset so it is good to get an asset first before going for a liability
 
House is more important and it keep increasing value as the days goes. In fact, i see car as a liability not as a necessity. House is a fundamental necessity you can do without. House, shelter and food are fundamental human necessities. There is no car or transportation there.
