Firstly, I don't think there are enough part-time or temp jobs out there that pays enough for youngsters to afford a house by the end of the holidays. Secon...

Whats your opinion?Materialistic/spend-thrift/good idea

Mine:Good as long as they dont ask their parents to purchase it....

The article discusses on the issue of youths working for salary to purchase branded items.

chanff8 SG

better than asking parents for money. of course they should save a certain amount of money they earn but using the rest to buy what they like, I don't see anything wrong about it Rolling Eyes

OH-FF SG

Well , that’s a lot better than getting into loans to repay credit card Debts. So many Young Adults fall into such a financial trap.

I think these youths are very shallow minded. Is a PSP or the latest handphone worth aimming for?

Dont they want to own something better?

chanff8 SG

to me, a hp that does wat i want it to do is enough. im going to stick to my 6670 for the next few years... I'll love to have an iPod though... to accompany me through lonely mrt and bus rides... Wink

It's a good idea. They will learn that it is hard to earn money so they won't anyhow spend money.

aRcTiC_sTaR SG

Rolling Eyes Don't you want that too?

Fatum SG

Would you rather they ask for money from their parents ? Confused

Compare kids who work to buy what they want
with
Rich kids who never have to work for what they want - they just ask parents for what they want

DrTech SG

Okay la... next time mp3 players we buy abc brand okay? $20 kind... Rolling Eyes

shade343 SG

A simple 8250 would suffice for me. I dont want those flashy handphones. I want to own a house.

shade343 SG

Im merely asking them to think ahead and look at the bigger picture. Is the latest handphone or gadget worth aiming for? Or would owning a house be better?

Would you rather work to get a house or work to get a handphone?

ditzy SG

When they're my age, they'll be asking:"I actually did that?" Laughing

sinicker SG

sometimes, it is good coz' the students can be independent.

sometimes, it is bad too. the students are so happy working, knowing that they can earn $ to buy what they want w/o havg to wait ages to get it frm their parents.. that they stop schooling and str8away enter the workforce.

Ayukat SG

Something better as in? Rolling Eyes

alexkusu SG
