Im trying to upgrade my bike from 70cc Chinese to higher cc.

Even though there are not a lot of choices in 125-150 bikes.

I really like the 125g ybr looks and shape overall. My budget is around 200-300k

My friend is insisting me to buy the Suzuki GS 150. I don’t like the looks overall but it’s a solid bike.

The downside here is that yamaha no longer makes new bike so I have to go with previous versions.

I am seeing one at a shop which is been driven 47,000 km and it’s a 2018 model priced at 250k

The other one is a newer model 2024 and only 20,000 driven priced at 370k.

Should I go with the old YBR or I should get a new Suzuki GS 150 on instalments? (Uncle wali bike 🤧)

Please suggest some good co-working spaces in Islamabad for my freelance work. I live in B17, and the nearest is in D12, but I think I can sacrifice the travel for more productivity.

I started freelancing in 2021 and the first 2.5 years went really well. I made around $100K total. But around mid-2023, my income crashed hard and it hasn't recovered since. 2024–2025 have honestly been the worst years of my life financially. I've gone into debt and burned through most of my savings.

My monthly expenses are around 100K PKR (roughly) and I can barely cover them some months. First, it was the general freelance slowdown, and now AI has absolutely wrecked the graphic design marketplace specifically. I'm picking up small gigs here and there, but I genuinely don't know how much longer my savings will hold.

On top of everything, I dropped out of my degree during this period because the financial stress made it impossible to focus.

I feel like a failure, but I'm trying to think practically about what's next, ike Hunt for a remote job or start a physical/local business, something offline that isn't as exposed to AI disruption

Has anyone gone through a similar crash after doing well in freelancing? What worked for you? Any honest advice would be appreciated. I'm not looking for toxic positivity, just real perspectives.
