Do you envy any of your friends with rich parents / both with a silver spoon?

Curious. Some claim that this group of people don’t know what is hard work and have not gone through any form of hardships since everything is given and laid out on a silver platter to them.

Some say these group of people are pampered and everything they have is because of their parents efforts. They get to go on fully paid exchange overseas, buy designer bags monthly, a brand new BMW for their birthday present etc.

One poly classmate of ours have her own chauffeur who will open car doors for her. Another colleague at my workplace casually told us he didn’t opt for BTO as he was gifted a 2.3mil fully paid condo as a wedding gift by his dad. Another friend’s parents fully paid her wedding at Andaz recently which amounted up to 55k.

On the other hand there are ordinary folks like us, who have to save and budget our salary every month. We work our ass off only to have a take home salary of 3k and after factoring the bills and allowance, we’re down to 1k ish.

We can’t casually say we wanna take a gap year to open a cafe or start my own passion project as that will mean 1 years worth of salary is gone to waste.

Also, it’ll take us years to save up for housing and wedding, and some of our parents or siblings depend on us for their daily expense. This group however will somehow despise those with richer parents, and understandably why.

Personally I don’t envy them per se, but I envy the freedom that they have knowing they have that financial safety net.

They are free to pursue their actual interest and if it fails, they have a strong backing to catch them. Two sides to the coin tho, I’ve also learned to persevere through adversities and have a stronger mentality towards challenges.

Then again, I mean come on, if your dad tells you ,” Son, here’s your Merc GLA180 and the keys to your condo at Marina One” , I’m sure most of us will take it hahaha.
