working.
Go look for sympathy somewhere else.

Many times we equate maturity with age, but then there are those whom break the mold and prove otherwise. In this case OP, that saying rings true.
It may not be your intention, but you sure came across wrongly. Your opening post already sunk your boat before you even cast off.
Clear enough, even after several pages, people are (myself included) disgusted with the silver spoon you're born with and focus more on it rather than the topic at hand.
What am I trying to say?
Both you and that so-called girl of yours do not understand how difficult life is. Both you and that girl do not understand the value or hard earned money. Both of you possibly have not been in dire need.
You might question me to asking "How dare you make sure bold statements?" To which I will reply, it is quite obvious logic.
Based on what you have said:
You're 17 with 1.2k per month which is 14400 per year
Next page there is this girl whom apparently thinks that you're too
cheap for her.
Maybe this might shed some light on your predicament, perhaps in my bitter tone you might find some wisdom.
1.2k per month is what some people put down for a monthly house installment. After that they barely have 200 to spend on themselves
1.2k is also the amount people put down for their car
1.2k feeds family of 4 comfortably (feeding as in needs, not wants)
I'm a decade plus older than you are, and even I don't have 1.2k for leisure spend monthly after bills and what nots.
Far from jealousy, I can see that indeed your lifestyle is of a different tangent. The other point I am trying to make is that, you're not better than the girl whom you point fingers at. How so?
You point your fingers at her stating that she wants the Hollywood lifestyle, famous, branded clothes costing 5 digit numbers.
You on the other hand seem like that to many of the posters and replies here (myself included)
In your eyes, you think you're not flaunting - maybe you aren't but using that huge amount of cash in 5 days in KL? That's an absurd amount of cash for 5 days! So in not so many words, the both of you are in the same boat.
