Time for Austerity Drive
October 30, 2008 2:03 pm Diana's Diary, RantsI was talking to mum the other day about her shares dropping rock bottom and she is not too concerned about it – according to her, as long as she does not sell it, it is just paper loss and likewise if you make money but don’t sell your shares, it amounts to paper profit. I sense that because we 3 daughters are contributing RM600 a month each to the household expenses that my parents can afford to dine out every day. My mum does not cook nor does she do housework. In many ways, you could say that she leads the life of a ‘tai-tai’ or shopping mall wife who reads the newspapers every day, watches Astro on television whole day and sleeps in between during afternoon naps.
While I don’t have the luxury to slumber all the time, I need to work hard and save up for my retirement so that I will have more than enough to last a lifetime. As I don’t have kids, I cannot depend on them like my parents depend on us for financial support. With the economic gloom and share market in bearish run recently, it heralds for austerity measures. And I haven’t even straighten my wild hair for the last 12 months even though it is difficult to comb them sometimes.
