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

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? -
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...Originally posted by shade343:I think these youths are very shallow minded.

A simple 8250 would suffice for me. I dont want those flashy handphones. I want to own a house.Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR: Don't you want that too? -
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?Originally posted by Fatum:Would you rather they ask for money from their parents ?
Would you rather work to get a house or work to get a handphone? -
When they're my age, they'll be asking:"I actually did that?"

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. -

My parents are rich too but they ain't wat we called stingy. They just wanted us to understand that money isn't easy to earn. Note that whatever we buy is a Want, not a Need most of the timeOriginally posted by Simon Dean:im rich but my parents never buy me what i want, heck even sometimes my father is more stingy than those that earn 3 times less than him

How do you define Rich?
Billionaire? Millionaire?
In the eyes of Bill Gates , probably your parents are nothing more then African peasants. Please don't call yourself rich , try to be humble .
