Rich People

just now I went to adam food court for a drink. When I passed by the small road(leading to TCS, dunnno the name of road), I saw a yellow lotus driven by a young pretty gal. Thought she was going to other place. When I reach adam food court, saw the lotus waiting for a parking lot.
sigh...how come there are people who are so rich? Go makan can take bus, but drive a lotus there. very envious....how i wish i was born in such a family...

Go figure that out...look at the places nearby.
Frankly, after years of being rich, many just don't see it as any joy at all. -
you are not the only one with that thinking.
-
still there are many rich who lived further up and not within walking distance.
Not say that rich people not happy lah. They dun have problems with buying things. When I want to buy a car, I need to calculate whether I got enuf to pay for installments anot. Then got to consider different models, see which one I can afford. Still need to think of petrol costs, road tax, insurance etc...
Rich ppl want to buy, they just go there and buy...their problems are just different from poor ppl like me. -
IMHO i feel that there are much more 'poor' people than rich people. Just that we dont notice only..

Not necessarily true... working one's ass off doesn't mean one'll get rich... in fact the reverse is usually true - The rich don't have to work very hard to earn their keep, whilst the poor slog like siao still poor.Originally posted by tailslide:then quit being envious. work hard, slog ur @rse off and earn ur own keep. somebody's gonna be rich, why not you?

life is like tat la..never fair. wanna buy 1 small small toyota vios i also haf to think many many times & plan so much way ahead..will we 1 day ever strike toto? 100k also can. haha. -
well, my theory applies to ppl not born rich. sure, working one's @rse off might not make u any richer, but lamenting bout it sure ain't gonna give u a better chance either.Originally posted by cornyfish2000:Not necessarily true... working one's ass off doesn't mean one'll get rich... in fact the reverse is usually true - The rich don't have to work very hard to earn their keep, whilst the poor slog like siao still poor. -
spot on! its a catch phrase with common folks out on the streets. gives them a sense of hope, a chance of making it big...... by drinking stoutOriginally posted by nightsky87:Drink guiness stout lor. -

Maybe she bought it 2nd hand at a good price?
Maybe she's having a hard time servicing the instalments?
Maybe she's heavily in debt? Looks gd outside but rotten inside?

I have to say this. I am not rich but im actually quite well off and my dad always tells me this.
The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. Cause the poor wanna look rich but the rich just wanna be normal.
Although it doesn't really apply for a alot of people i think its quite true.
And i watched an interview of a tycoon in sg on channel news asia. He said "the rich aren't people who can earn a lot of money however those who have good financial planning". Go figure -
i don't even have $ to start financial planning.Originally posted by Rynax:And i watched an interview of a tycoon in sg on channel news asia. He said "the rich aren't people who can earn a lot of money however those who have good financial planning". Go figure -
