I notice coordinated themes between SMOL's and your posts. Lol.
ReplyDeleteYour post above fits into SMOL's post on frugality vs miserly. I see the link to your 8 Mar 2014 story depicts the trio of the Spendthrift, the Frugal and the Miser. Lol. Joking.
On a serious note, I've been advocating what that woman (who paid) said in your story. But sadly, no one who read my messages ever agree with my view. I suppose readers themselves also wish their parents would leave them a legacy. Below is a part of a longer Whatsapp message I sent to a few friends last week:
I've been reading countless blogs showing a prevalent trend. Many parents intend to leave a legacy to their grown up descendants in the form of flat/condo/house, life insurance payout, CPF payout. What's the issue with this? The issue is this --- when parents finally leave this world at say Age 75, their children would already be Age 45. And these "kids" still need a legacy to survive? After spending half their life bringing up their kids and equipping them with all he necessary Tools and Skills to Fish, parents here still think that their Old Kids at 40, 50 still need to be given a Containership of Fish to survive. It should be the other way around -- these grown up kids should be giving their parents a Containership of Fish so that they can enjoy their remaining life after suffering for so many decades.
What a joke. Actually it's not a joke because this Containership of Fish the parents saved up comes at the expense of the parents who had to scrimp and save and forgo many things in life that they deserved to enjoy.
(I'm risking being flamed by opening up myself to the online world. My views tend to be stark and direct as always, but they are all just my personal view. Please do not feel compelled to follow what I say or even read what I write. Thank you.)
True! Not easy to be parents when we have more than one child. The issue or guilt of not being fairer to all of them.
