Actually, to put it together, its the innovation and creativity from the younger generation entrepreneurs that create so many 'choices' that we can spend our money on, things that do not exist as a choice in the past.

My Dad's time -

Write Letter on Paper to order goods from Australia.

Mail letter to Australia by mail

Wait 2 weeks

Letter reply came, order accepted but price need higher

Write letter and accept price

wait 2 weeks

Letter reply came, will send goods

Wait 2 weeks

Goods arrived

All in all 1 transaction takes 6 weeks to close 1 deal.

 

My Time

Send email in PC to order goods online

wait 30 mins

Autoreply accepted but Buy now price needed, click button

Send email by click button

wait 5 mins

Confirmation email

Wait 2 days

Goods arrived

 

But I have to do 1000 times of such work to earn what my dad do in ONE Deal.

 

Yes my dad's time is more SIN NANG...

Earn 300~400 only but HDB 3 room flat = $7000.

 

Now average people earn 3~4k but 4-rm flat = $200k ?? so Husband and Wife work so Household income = 6~8K.

bro, infant care boh bian for some ppl who have no caregivers lah .... my mum takes care of my kids, so i give her quite a fair bit as well, as she can work instead of taking care of my sons ... so its still a cost and a need. . .

 

As for toys, you cant expect the kids to pak goh li right? Toys , educational or not, books as well, are also considered a need. If not, what you expect them to do?? Watch tv whole day?

 

Maybe things such as going overseas twice a year (and no, Sentosa and Bintan do not count) are considered as a want.

 

bo bian? sun wu kong 72 bian for you.........

 

last time both my parents working, i also alone... if i miss my school bus.. i either walk home or wait in school till either of them finish work and come pick me.... PICK me not Fetch me..... no car last time...

 

when i was even younger..... sometimes i stay at grand auntie place.... till now.. we still give her allowance

 

pak goh li why cannot? watch TV cannot? so last time you young what you do?

I always hear and read that standard of living cost now is higher and can't afford to have kids blah blah blah.

 

Well, if you were to look at it, our salary now is defintely much higher than last time.

 

If last time parents or even grandparents can afford to have 3 to 12 kids, why are we complaining even we have only one?

 

What is your take?

 

This is an opened discussion, all ideas and comments are welcome.

 

You MUST have failed miserbly in your basic maths in school since you last left school!

 

You CANNOT COUNT let alone do ratioing according to proportion and your idea of percentages SUCKS ...BIG TIME!

 

Take a look at what you posted in BOLD!

 

I give you an example....you get 3 to 4% increase of your means ever since you started work but your essential spending has to follow suit by 8 to 10% as well!

 

Are you still with me?

 

So you are actaully having a deficit of 3 to 4% as you go along!

 

And this is compounded as you go along!

 

No wonder I said perviously..as in many times....MCF really is filled ( up to the brim) with MORONS!
