wow.. reading this old article on sunday times in Oct 2008 do have some impact on me. someone even 'highlighted' those 'key words' in RED!
imagine a student could draw $500 for her monthly pocket money?!?! that is almost the same for us working adults.. maybe more..
i wondered are we living in such luxury society that we forgot to save for that rainy days?? or is it her parents have been poor during their younger days that they do not want their kids to suffer?? or is it they earned too much and had no place to spend, therefore showered their love in monetary terms??
buying branded watches and bags.. it's something that i had never done in my life so far.. my most valuable possessions which i first came out to work was a jean paul (i don't even remember the full spelling of the brand) which cost about $300+.. that was 10 over years ago and the bag had gone to salvation army already.. later, all my watches and bags are all less than $100..
as a student, is it really necessary to have a $500 monthly pocket money?? yes, maybe i'm being sour grape.. the living standards are getting higher each day.. is it necessary??
if that's the case, i do envy those students who are drawing this amount or equivalent.. in fact i do heard similar cases of it.. i'm envious!
