at least back then cost of living vs salary wasnt as bad no?

Please enlighten me

KFC is still luxury for me

typically eat less than 6x per year

tell me more, i was too young to remember then. All i knew that my parents could afford better stuff then me if compared to a similar age..xD

inb4 ask your dad.
Eh..not that easy, deswai i ask /k

I remember I was a very happy kid on my birthday because I can only eat McD like once a year. Because it's mahal and bill can come out to like RM 50 whole family. Our usual meal was either cooking at home or ta pau cheap hawker so my parents managed to save for our education and family's future. Even 98 crisis, when the interest rate was crazy, my dad felt the pinch but managed to pull tho no issue because of our lifestyle.

Nowadays ppl, if 1 week don't dine out can die. Have to go cafe la, Starbucks la, have to buy nice car la but OPR raise 25 basis points, cry mother cry father.
