I hate being poor.

Why is it that some people are born rich and some people are just born... like me?

Why can't the only decisions I make be

should i wear my gucci or my coach bag today?

I don't want to think about how I can pay for my bills this month (cancel my phone line and break all contacts with the world), would I be able to go for an exchange (does sentosa counts?), I need a suit for my school's assignment (maybe I'll rob a bank) or should I take summer courses to lighten my normal sem (maybe if I find a 600 dollar bill on the ground).

I hate having to make choices like should I get the bus concession or the mrt concession because I definitely can't afford both.

Whereas, you have people living around you cursing that they have to take a cab to school everyday because their parents won't buy them a car.

You may think that kids like these grow up to be spoiled brats and won't be rich once their parents are gone. You are thankful that you're not like them and that even if you aren't born rich, you will work hard to be.

But I'd rather be like them.

There is so many things you can do if you're rich when you're a teen/youth. When you don't have to work for the money, when you don't have to think when the money will next come, when you don't have to make sacrifices, make choices because you can't afford more than one or even one at all.

If I work hard, it'll probably take me another twenty years the least to buy an Ebel without batting an eyelid. Who wants to have the money to buy expensive cosmetics or go for facial treatments regularly if they no longer have the face to show it. Who wants to go disneyland when they're sixty? (Unless you count going out with your grandson).

The only ones who will benefit if you become rich after you grow up will be your children. They will become the spoilt brats that you've always dreamt of but couldn't be.

Now, who wants to be born rich, raise your hand with me.
