Not only they have little saving, but they also want fame addresses, close to their families and etc......cam have bragging rite mah.....
Tak kan nak tell friends you stay at puncak alam.....damansara sounds much better......
Haha, sounds like my ex-wife.
She had issues living in OUG, claimed it wasn't a famed area and only the "Cina" types lived there, she forgot what colour her skin is I suppose. Not that she was happy when I told her that.
Her preference? Mutiara Damansara near the IKEA. Of course she didn't want to believe that was just Sg Buloh/Kepong area.
Thankfully she left me.
Anyway myself I'm not one to live in famed areas, drive fancy cars, wear trendy clothes or dine at posh places. Even the years at uni, preferred living in a rented room in a council flat located in a very rough area of Birmingham. Drove a 20 year old Morris Marina. Wore clothes I found from the clearance racks or charity shops. Breakfast? A banana, bowl of cereal and milk. Lunch usually a prepared sandwich from home and an apple. Dinner, baked beans on toast made from frozen stale bread. Other staple food was whatever I could find at the clearance aisle of the supermarket. Worked 3 mornings a week driving the milk float and 1 evening per week pulling pints at a pub.
Even these days we still live in that single storey terrace house in OUG, every single piece of furniture is 2nd hand and nearly every single appliance we have other than the air conditioners are 2nd hand too. Everyone tends to ask why we don't renovate our house or move to one of our condos.
Only thing big ticket that is new that we own is a Kia Sportage which we bought when the GST was set to zero all other cars we own are over 10 years old. Only reason we bought the new car was we needed the space with a baby around.
