Pretty much bored these few days.. lessons are delayed and we are sometimes stuck doing some mindless nondescript things that i shall not talk about. I just thought that i might as well write something more intelligent.. u know, like brush up on some english skills..

Being a young salary earner, i can somewhat understand the financial burden that weighs upon every household. House loans, bills, insurance as well as education fees of children and even car loans. Not to mention the cost of having a comfortable retirement at age 40 plus.. This amount of money is by no means a small amount. It is much more than mere hundreds of thousands but rather in terms of millions.

I do not think the youth in Singapore can really comprehend the pressures that their parents face. Indeed, we live sheltered lives, and our parents probably give us decent amounts of allowances. Yet, we often ask for more. I myself know this to be true, the current social life of students now is truly one of extravagance. All these at the expense of our parents.

Nonetheless there are those who have parents that are well-to-do, but for the majority of people in Singapore, the high cost of living is a real problem. Frequent places to eat for youth like Cafe Cartel, Fish & Co. etc, cost no less than $15 a pop.

Take a thought, money doesn't come easy, and we know it. Yet we take it for granted. Do your parents a favour and calculate how much you are costing them. Are you high maintenance? If you are, i hope you will make an effort to make life a little easier for them. Kids in future are gonna be a hell lot more expensive.. thats when you are the parent.
