Jap Car vs Boxster

[Sabbie]

can lah, work moderately hard, save up abit.... then pray the market doesnt crash too often

 

but like what you say, moderating your expectations is important too, sometimes when my frens tell me that they earn 10k 20k per month I also feel demoralized....as for the market, it's getting crazy, I am pulling out for a peace of mind...

whoever compares a Camry and a Boxster... prob deserves to drive a Camry

 

So typical. Finding excuses to ease the ego.

comparing with others can make us very very demoralized... but comparing with those less fortunate, makes us treasure what we already have

Something similar? ...... Every minute or hour passes, we have less time to live and do the way and things we like.

 

How we definite happiness?.... with a list of 'to have', 'to do'? ...... we can write the list ourselves, instead of letting others or society do it.

Those days the worries were not so much children scored well in studies or getting into 'good' school etc, but just to learn something good in school.... ie focusing on real basis stuff and not blindly follow what other parents think.

 

Not chasing the 'upgrade' dreams regarding what kind of flat/condo to live in, but just be happy having a roof over our heads.

 

Overall, just keeping life simple
