Some Singaporeans arh, have this perception that living in
landed property or owning a car are signs that a family is well to
do. This is so not true. Its not that they chose to live that way,
its more of "make do with what you have".
Not necessarily well to do families spend extravagantly, but more
rather they spend on things that make themselves feel content with
how they're living, to live comfortably, that is their sole aim. If
you got the cash, sure use it and make your life a little more
meaningful after all you worked hard to earn that little bit more
bread.
There ain't such thing called easy money, everything comes through
the price of hard work.
