really really bored at home, so i did some thinking..
some people are borned with silver/gold spoon in their mouth, while some people wasn't even fed with enough milk.. So which catergory are you in? Maybe your family is just an ordinary family, with just enough to get by. So should you be happy that in the least you are not suffering or should you be unhappy because you dont have excess to spend? You'll never get happy when you keep comparing with people whose lives are better, but if you're using it as a motivation, then good for you.
"Always save up for rainy days", sounds familar? Well, to me, YES. My parents keep telling me to save and not spend. Aren't you upset when you get your paycheck on your pay day and about 20% - 30% spent on whatever that need to be paid or given? Then when you go shopping, you have to restrict yourself? Of course you can choose not to restrict, you just have to tighten your daily expenses.. That's for us now...
What if we're all grown up and have a family? What about housing installments, childrens' expenses, daily expenses, giving parents money.. Of course, we can't spend every single cent we earn. everything need money now.
Good for you if you're borned in a rich rich family ~ Since young, you don't have to worry about anything with regards to money. You get what you want, provided that your parents aint stingy. When you grow older, you get more materialist (Which everyone does). You ask for branded, more expensive stuffs and not just simpler things like toys. Well, I mean.. Yes, you deserve to be pampered by your parents, but has it occurred to you that your parents worked hard for it? Maybe Yes, Maybe No? Well.. As the saying goes, the rich gets richer and the poor get poorer..
What if one day, the world's turned around? Would the rich regret not saving up or doing what they supposed to? And would the poor cherish whatever monetary values they have and spend it wisely, Or would they spend it like nobody's business?
Nobody wants to be poor, nobody wants to be looked down on..
Rich doesnt mean that you have all that power in the world to look down on people, to destroy others' lives..
