He said that he is too used to being and don’t know how to be rich.
Full Story Here:
“I graduated from NUS last year and found a job I like which is actually not very sexy.
I don’t work in aircon,
I don’t have a fixed schedule,
I don’t have a very classy job where you wine and dine in some fancy restaurant.
But I bring home $10k/mth. Not even kidding. Anw I have difficulty knowing what to do with all this money. I’m so used to being a broke uni student, eating $5 meals, fast food or hawker. Waiting until first train after a night out clubbing so I don’t have to cab. Going on dates with men just to get a free dinner. Lol.
Anw, I’ve been working rly hard and think I deserve to treat myself but idk what to buy bc I’ve never really eyed luxury goods before. So now my question to y’all is… what’s the latest trends in bags, watches or (I would say holiday destination but it’s covid now) clothes etc.?
I alr have investments and a small apartment abroad. It actly kinda sucks to be the only one doing well when my friends are earning ~$3k or recently retrenched. I try to stay humble or treat them to a meal. I have no interest in a car.
I don’t rly engage in any vices like drugs, alcohol, ciggs. The most I’ve spent so far is pocket money to my parents and donation to covid relief. I guess I’m so used to being a broke student that I don’t really know how to be rich. Haha.
Please teach me. Thank you”
