high profile figures like prime minister, movie director, corp CEOs dun really have a choice, do they?

lawyers, doctors on the other hand, they can choose to live a modest and low profile life, if they wish to.

this is called living within their means. they are "smart" for not overspending their limited earnings.

you obviously do not know what is lifestyle, if the world were to follow you we would be back at stoneage. You've probably never seen real money in your life. For those who have 30 million in their account what is spending 7k for a handbag? its only 0.02% of their wealth. Dont just assume people who dresses up with designer cloths or bags are dumb, they do so because they can afford to.

they do so because they prefer to indulge in luxury than to use those excess funds on charity.

of course, they are folks who both indulge in luxury, and spend much money on charity.

That's just called materialism.

Anyway Warren Buffet drives an old car, and hardly spends on anything even though he can.

That's one rich guy I respect.

Join a Charity club, there should be some girls there that are sincere =P

In the end you can give all your opinion, but you cannot change the world, shopping is synonymous with girls, and shopping needs money. I'm talking in terms of generally woman LOVE shopping. Yes you can give me a few example of who and who or your gf who do not mind being poor. But if you look out at the street, with all the major shopping complex from KLCC catering to the rich to the smaller pudu or komtar or sg wang catering for the lower end, all these places target girls.

Look at facial product frm SK-II to Olay, these are all girls neccesity in life!

For people who can afford, good for them.
There's nothing wrong if that's the case...

But for ppl who can't afford, why go beyond ur means and save up just to buy something which u can do without in the first place?
I'm sure u've heard of bf/gf giving each other designer stuff after few months of ikat perut-ing. It's not like it can change the person's life.
That money would have been better spent elsewhere.

And you wanna talk about people having 30Million in their bank accounts? Ok, here's the problem...
How many people in msia have 30Million? Not a lot...
another question.... How many rich people in msia have 30M in their bank accounts?
Not many at all.... most rich ppl have property over 30M, not cash...

................. and you're telling girls it's ok to be money minded?
How many people are there in Msia? 25Million ?...
ok, for argument's sake... suppose half of that are girls (altho we know this is not true, cos there are more girls than guys, but for arguments' sake... let's set it at 50:50 ratio).... That's 12,500,000 girls............... and you telling them it's ok to be money minded and go for rich guys??
I can honestly tell you you'll be breaking 98% of these girls' hearts when they found out the truth.

What if boys go for rich girl?

Rich + Rich = More Rich = Many Vacation =D

The topic was money is important to girl, and I'm trying to point out to you that, that is the fact of life. You're trying to convince me or whichever girl you're trying to con that this isnt true. Of coz you can quote me Mother teresa disagree with me, but then again I'm sure you're not trying to marry a person like her.

Todays world security = money, be it health, places you stay, schools you go to, places you hangout, jobs you take, the world are slave to money. As mention a thousand times already, how rich, now that is up to individuals taste or appetite.

If money is not important, why do we send our children to extra classes and hope he becomes a doctor or a pilot? why not tell him to go potong susu and live an organic life? why do you work and hope to be promoted? why do you complaint that your salary is never enuf?

Money is important to a certain extent.
Money is not the deciding factor in life like what u're saying go for the richest guy etc...

So many things are better in life than money.
Love, trust and friendship for example...
People will kill own family members, betray good friends bcos of money.
IMHO finding people whom we can trust and love is way more important than money.
Money can be made.

Who doesnt wanna be rich? everyone wanna be rich and that was the whole purpose why we study so hard, work so hard and hope to be somebody one day.

But not everybody makes it in life, the girl who are fortunate to have the chance to marry a rich man, so why not?

The aim is to have a lot of money, but how or what person it changes you is totally a different story, You can be rich but a stuck up or you can be rich but down to earth but unfortunately is not covered in this thread. You've to start your own thread about this topic.

In chinese tradition marriage does not contain just the 2 of you. Marriage you've to think of your kids, your parents and your bro and sister, how it affect their lifes. That is also the reason why you work so hard to make money so you can give the best to your kids.

Anyway for those who think money is not important in marriage definately are those single person or those who had just fallen in love and still in honeymoon mode. Wait till you wake up.

Being a boss in the office rather than flipping burgers by the road side.

actually, being a boss in the office does not necessarily mean a better and easier life lmao.

that boss could be badly in debt.

on the other hand, the guy flipping burgers by the road side could be leading a happy life every day.
