Young and 'Rich'?

I am sure some of us would scramble for items during branded stores' sales. Just yesterday, I was at Vivo and most of the top notch brands - ZARA, RIVER ISLAND, GAP etc...are having sales... I popped in to kaypoh to see if I can find anything suitable and I was shocked. shocked. shocked. So many young guys/ladies (some b/lians and many students-alike) are there too...I wonder how come where they are so 'rich' and have the money to buy...(maybe, that's why they go for sale items?)... Back to my younger days, where got such luxury ...or maybe, I am obiang lor and do my shopping at CHINATOWN with the little money that parents give...haha...think parents nowadays are loading their children with $ and material items to compensate for their 'lack of time' with them.
I used to envy 'rich' people till my wise wife enlightens me... don't be deceived cos one may be driving a posh car and living in a big house but paying through his nose/health just to 'rear' it ... is that the life we want? slogging and slogging for material needs. Many will say yes. It is the vicious cycle - as one earns more, they spend more, and when they do so, they work harder to earn, and neglect their health and so on .... is it worth it?
