A man shared his story on how buying luxury goods ruins his life by swiping his credit card.

Here is the story:

I always thought having branded goods was a way of the rich, but as it turns out, It has made me super poor.

I swiped my credit cards to sponsor my girlfriend for her shopping spree at MBS but it has gone overboard.

First it was a T-shirt, which cost $800, and some branded bags for a few thousand. The worse thing is, I don’t even know what brand the T-Shirt is.

We then had dinner there and I ended up spending over $5,000 in a day.

I don’t even earn that much in a month, I thought that doing this will make her happy but ends up it made me very sad.

Even though we have broke up, I realised that the girl did not even bother trying to stop me or had any shame in stopping herself. She knows very well what my salary is and expected me to listen to her for the day.

I feel like she is ripping me off one last time before breaking up with him.

Now I have to bear the credit card debt and this is really getting out of hand.

Better to be single, rather spend that $5,000 and go for multiple sessions at some”man paradise”

My husband and I have been married for a little over a year (Aug 2020) and 2 weeks ago I walked in on him with another woman on my bed!

I’m obviously wanting to file for divorce. My husband is a lawyer which makes me nervous when it comes to this situation. I’m not currently employed because I was still studying when we got married. We don’t have joint bank accounts and don’t own property together.

So my question is what can I do? Am I entitled to anything? Will I be granted alimony to the spouse who was cheated on? Am I crazy for even asking these questions because I’ve only been married for a year and own no property?

My husband is a ruthless lawyer and I’m honestly afraid to get screwed over by this monster.

Getting married to a lawyer and getting divorce later can be the worse nightmare whether your a man or a woman.

A young woman shares her struggles with her mother after she is forced to eat only vegetables at home, first world problems.

Here is the story:

I am already a 21-years-old woman, I am no longer a V, I drink, I smoke… You named it I done it.

But my parents are still over-controlling me! They force me to be vegan because of superstitions and I am a free thinker. Every time I come home my mom will say that she smells me eating meat.

I was like “wth” not calling her biatch but she dog ah can smell I eat what…

Here is the plot twist, my father also eat meat outside but my mother does not even say a word (she probably dosen’t even know), I know this because I saw my father eating at a coffee shop in front of my block and he was eating chicken rice.

Should I expose this secret to my mother?

So I have decided to move away from my home, I have never known the comfort of calling Macdonalds in the middle of the night and biting down a juicy hamburger while watching Netflix.

I am currently searching for a job that can at least bring me two thousand a month so I can at least rent a small room and be free.

It is always some soy crap snack at home or veges. I once told my mother that she is looking “green” just to insult her.

A friend of mine moved into a furnished flat in the central area along with his wife. A few days later, it was afternoon and both of them were chilling in the living room.

Suddenly a woman covered in blood from head to toe appeared out of nowhere, crossed the living room and went into the bedroom. The woman was shaking in anger and muttering some words. Both of them got the living daylights scared out of them and ran out of the main door and locked it. They called the neighbours who came to check. They found no one.

The flat windows were all close, so no chance of anyone going out that way and people standing outside the main door would have seen someone leave. Both of them stayed at my friend’s parents place that night. The next morning they collected their belongings and called a priest from a temple.

The priest came over and sprinkled water with a plant or something and started to burn some yellow paper and started chanting in some words no one could understand.

The priest then said that there is bad news and told the couple to not come back for the night as the priest would stay there for 24 hours.

My friend’s home has a CCTV and he monitored the whole situation with his wife, the priest was seen as if he was strangled in the footage but there was no one there. He continued to burn joss papers nonstop and later even wielded his wooden sword in the air as if he is attacking something.

The next day the priest met my friend and he had obvious bruises on his neck, he said that he has won the battle and guaranteed that no more supernatural occurrence would happen ever again.

My friend has been living there for the last 3 years and he said that no more nonsense has happened. He said that he will sell the flat once his ready.

A story was shared by a netizen about her experience dealing with irresponsible parents.

Here is the story:

I (28F) do babysitting on the weekends to make some babysitting on the weekends to make extra cash.

There is one family I definitely should’ve fazed out by now but the kids are cute and if I don’t have another job, it’s easy money. My issue is, the mom is never home on time. She used to not give me return times but finally, I started asking as it made it impossible to get anything done on the weekends. I’d go babysit so she could go to “brunch” but she’d be gone from 11 AM to 7 PM. My whole day was gone. After that, she’d start giving me times but never stick to them. She wouldn’t even call to tell me, she’d just stay out.

On Saturday, I got to her house at 6 and she was supposed to be home by 9. I told her she needed to be on time because I had plans to go out with friends. I was even getting ready at their house after I put the kids to be. She promised. Of course, 9:00 rolls around and she’s not home. I call her, no response. Text, no response. Another hour. Nothing. Still calling and texting. Finally, it is midnight. By this point, my plans are long ruined but I’m pissed and exhausted. I call her and leave a voicemail saying if she’s not home in the next hour, I’m considering the kids abandoned and calling the Police. I also text her this. I try calling her 30 minutes later and it goes to voicemail on the second ring, I text her again and she leaves me on reading. If she had reached out saying “Hey, I’m staying out until x time”, I would’ve stayed. I don’t know any of her family nor the father of the kids so I can’t call them. I gave her a grace period of 15 minutes and tried calling again, finally called the Police (non-emergency line).

They showed up and I showed our agreement in text from earlier in the week confirming that she’d be home by 9. They try contacting her, didn’t answer. I was dismissed and they took the children to the police station. I go home and go to bed.

I am awoken at 3 AM by a frantic call. It’s her. Where are the kids? Why am I not here? I tell her I followed through on my threat, check the police station. She cursed me out, I hung up and went to bed.

Am I wrong?

My brother is a very hardworking man and at 27 he is now very wealthy and doing well for himself. He’s been with this girl for six months and throughout the time we have gotten close because we both like hair, makeup, and shopping. I never knew there was anything wrong with their relationship except when she texted me last week I said she would love to hang out but thinks it’ll be inappropriate because she and my brother broke up. I asked her why and she said she was sick and tired of “auditioning” to prove she was with him for the right reasons. She went on to say that my brother is paranoid she’s after his money so he would test her like

1. Leaving out his bank statements on their bed and getting upset when she picked it up
2. Going out to eat at high-end restaurants he requested and leaving his wallet on home at the purpose to make her pay the bill and prove she’s not going out with him for money
3. Never buying her gifts and questioning her when she asks why he doesn’t.

I was shocked so I had to hear my brothers perspective. We spoke and he told me everything she said was true and that there’s nothing wrong with making sure his girlfriend is with him for the right reasons. He said he left his bank statements on the bed and was peeking through the door to see if she would be curious and when he saw her pick up the papers he knew in his gut she was using him for his money, so he set up the restaurant idea to see if she would get upset at paying a $500 bill which she was. I asked him if he thinks her being an kindergarden school teacher could’ve contributed to her being upset at a $500 bill at a restaurant he wanted to go to and he said no.

He said the straw that broke was when she asked him why he hasn’t bought her a single gift since they’ve started dating when she bought him a gaming console and new rims for his car and he knew she was just discretely asking him to buy her an expensive gift.

He confronted her and said he thinks she’s with him for his money so she said let me do us both a favour and dumped him and block him. He’s upset about the “gold-digging b****” and when I laughed he called me an a**hole.

He said I would never understand what’s it’s like being a rich man and being used and I get that concern, but I told him if he thinks any woman will be okay with his tests and auditions he’s delusional as hell. If he doesn’t want to be used for his money he should start dating people as wealthy as him or leave lower income people alone if he’s not going to be genuine in his relationships unless they pass his “test”.

I’m the kind of person who likes to plan ahead, and I’m always trying to find ways to make my life easier.
Grab Car came into the picture, which is basically a ride-hailing service that you can use to get around town.

But unfortunately, I think I’m going to have to pass on Grab Car. You see, I’ve heard stories from other women who’ve had some really bad experiences with some of the drivers. They’ve reported that some of them have been really inappropriate and even creepy.

So yeah, I’m not taking any chances. I’d rather just take the MRT.

I mean, I know that not all Grab Car drivers are like this. But I’m not going to risk it. After all, these perverts could be anywhere.

And it’s not just the creepy drivers that are a problem. I’ve also heard that the fares can be really expensive and that the customer service isn’t always the best.

Plus, it’s not like I can’t get around town without a Grab Car. The MRT is usually just as convenient, and it’s definitely cheaper too.

So, yeah, I’m not going to be taking a Grab Car anytime soon. It’s just not worth the risk. I’d rather just stick with the MRT.

Still, I can understand why some people might think I’m being overly cautious. After all, bad experiences can happen on public transportation too. But at least if I’m on the MRT, I can get away from the situation much more quickly.

Plus, I know that I’m in control of the situation when I’m on the MRT. I know that I’m safe and that no one can bother me without me knowing. That’s why I’m sticking with the MRT.

So, yeah, I’m not taking any chances with Grab Car. I’d rather just take the MRT. It’s safer and it’s usually cheaper too.

Plus, I know that I’m in control of the situation. And that’s why I’m sticking with the MRT.
