I know that it is right to give our parents $$ when weÂ’ve started earning $$..
It is supposed to be like this rite??
Currently, IÂ’m working as a part-time waiter while waiting for my NS enlistment..
IÂ’m earning peanuts, jus $4.5/hr..
Last month IÂ’ve worked very hard and managed to earn $800+..
But aft the CPF deduction, IÂ’m only left with $600+..
I havenÂ’t give any of my earnings to my parents..
am I considered as unfilial??
Shld I give some of my earnings to my parents?? -
Since you have thought about it, you are not an unfilial child. Is the salary all you have to survive on? Or do your parents give you an allowance? If it is all you have, then i suggest you keep it lor, you can always contribute later when you begin working full-time and are earning more.

does your parents need the money on the first place or not? if not you can show your gratitude on other forms not just by money

yes, i depends on my salary to survive..Originally posted by ^spidee^:Since you have thought about it, you are not an unfilial child. Is the salary all you have to survive on?

they've already stopped giving me allowance since the day i grad from poly.. -
The next best alternative is not to spend money on silly stuff, such as buying new handphones and such. New models come out now and then. It would be a waste to buy them.
Save the money for better uses, you might even give your parents a treat. -

hmm, if that's the case then keep it for yourself bah, that is barely enough, really.. like used said, you can express your gratitude in non-money ways.Originally posted by lonestar86:yes, i depends on my salary to survive..

Give them while they are still alive. You may not have so much chance to give them. Afterall, money can be earned as long as you are alive.

CHOY!Originally posted by FORGET-ME-NOT:Give them while they are still alive. You may not have so much chance to give them. Afterall, money can be earned as long as you are alive.
If the 600 you yourself also not enough, then don't bother. If more than enough give lor. Anyway I think it is quite lame when someone can't even do their own budgeting -

Since you're only working while waiting for your enlistment, that means this isn't what you'll be doing as a livelihood i.e. long-term. If that's the case, showing your gratitude can wait a little lah.
You don't have to give them money every month. It can be like, occasionally give them $50 and "tell them to go buy something they like to eat with it". Usually parents will be extremely comforted even though it's not a large amount, because they know you have the thought. Erm, but of cos do not take that for granted!

ya.. give them money once in a while,

your actually getting paid as a server for only so little?
go find hotels to work la, confirm at least have $6 one, currently i am working in hotel
if you want to have $7 per hour, go find restaurants, tell them your experience, and you will have $7 per hour already.
if your personal expenses are higher then your income, then don't give, but if after savings, paying for ur expenses, still have left, then give your parents la, the amount isn't important, it's the sincerity that counts, be it $50 or $100..
