Title: Ridiculous stuff you heard of
Post by: Arctic on Feb 04, 2025, 03:09 PM
1. Guy say if he ever tio retrenched, he will go take driving license and drive phv

Wah lao as if driving license can be obtained overnight like that. Also, as if he knows sg roads very well if he dun even have driving license, google map is only useful to certain extent


2. Having children is cheap

Basic shelter + food and nothing else I assume

Point number 2 is how some boomer parents raise their children btw. hand me down toys/textbooks, minimal allowance, children to pay for their own education after o levels.

Different era different mindset and constraints so I dun really blame them
But in this time and age, as much as I'm against excessive tuition and buying iphone for children, this is the way of life now. So, if you want to have children, better be able to afford beyond the basics

Saw on MSm saying that $2k/mth on a child is excessive. Well, better to overestimate than underestimate the cost

$2k/mth for children in this day and age is reasonable factoring inflation. Parents shouldn't give birth if they intentionally want to 穷养孩子. Child spending should be done in moderation. What comes around goes around.

Speaking as a millenial, to this day I am unable to accept the mindset of boomer parents treating millennial children like that even then. Inflation was much lower and they had more purchasing power even as a sole breadwinner.

Cos they were treated like that when they were kids

Yes, parents these days can definitely give them a better life but at the same time should grind them a little

To a certain extent I agree with boomers. Eg. I expect primary 4 kids and above to go home by themself,  sec then have hp, nsf to not have the yoga mat when doing sit ups and push ups. These are some boomer mindset of mine
