My parents told me to stop spending money for the next 2 years so that their lives are easier, and they expect me to be alright with it.
Fine, they probably think it's alright to not spend on anything at all because they grew up like that, but they forget that was 300000 B.C. Back then, canteen food was 10 cents a meal. Now, school food costs at least $3. Clothes back then were made of leaves and are free. Clothes now are at least $20, and it's already bad enough I don't have any branded clothes. Back then, their weren't buffets and steamboats because they never went out of their kampongs. Now there is good food everywhere.
Let's say I was poor and I had a child(obviously not in a million years) and let's say he wanted 2 pairs of shades that costed $20. At least I wouldn't say it's ugly and that it was inproportionate to my body. And who am I to say it's ugly? I'm too old for that generation anyway. Yes I'm too fucking old to understand fashion and clothes. I would still think magnifying glasses are cool.
I'm getting the Starhub job to support my needs and wants. When your parents told you you cannot rely on anyone, they meant themselves included.
Bite me!
