Hey there good people, let’s unbiasedly settle the long-term debate that has been causing uproar in many homes. Finally, we’re going to talk about two things that many Kenyans dream but are torn of owning: Will it be a car or a piece of land?
Let’s begin by acknowledging that owning land is the ultimate flex, but let’s see whether the evidence will support this claim.
First off, let’s talk about the obvious: cars are overrated. I mean, sure, they’re flashy and fast and all that, but at the end of the day, they’re just a hunk of metal on wheels.??♂️ Land, on the other hand, is a tangible asset that can appreciate in value over time. And in Kenya, where the price of land is skyrocketing faster than a matatu on Thika Road, that’s a pretty big deal.
Let’s also talk about the practicality of owning land vs owning a car. When you own a car, you’re constantly worried about fuel prices, traffic, and parking. But when you own land, you have the ultimate freedom. You can build a home, start a business, or just let it appreciate in value without having to worry about fueling up or finding a parking spot.
And let’s not forget about the social status that comes with owning land in Kenya. When you tell people that you own a plot in Karen or a farm in Naivasha, they’ll be impressed. They’ll think you’re some kind of land baron, with connections in high places and money to burn. But when you tell people that you own a car, they’ll be like, “Oh, cool. What kind of car is it?” Trust me, I’ve been there. ?
But perhaps the best thing about owning land in Kenya is the potential for passive income. You can rent out your land to farmers, developers, or even just let it sit there and appreciate in value. And with the growing population and demand for real estate in Kenya, the sky’s the limit when it comes to earning potential.
Now, some of you might be saying, “But Munene, what about the cost of buying land in Kenya? It’s so expensive!” And to that, I say, “Well, duh!” Of course it’s expensive. That’s why it’s such a good investment. And let’s be real, if you’re spending all your money on a fancy car that’s just going to depreciate in value, you’re not really thinking long-term.
In conclusion good people, if you’re trying to decide between buying a car or buying land in Kenya, the answer is clear: go for the land. It’s a better investment, a better status symbol, and a better long-term play. Plus, you’ll never have to worry about finding a parking spot. Stay woke wadau!
