Financial point of view can be very subjective, some probably will prefer to live in the present, enjoying life. Some thought we should save for property, also the emergency funds for the rainy days.
One female netizen in 90s took social media to share her doubt in the financial views. She do have RM40,000 savings after few years work, however what surprised her was she found her bestie do not save at all.
Her post read:
Is it right that girls nowadays not saving money? I was born after 1995 and do have saving habits. I don’t have a lot of savings , but around RM40,000.
Few days back, me having afternoon tea with a few bestie. We talked about financial management, during the chat only i found 3 of them don’t really have savings. They almost spend all their income monthly. To be honest, i can’t accept their point of view.
During the chat, i managed to understand more on their thoughts. Their top priority will be enjoying life, spending on food, things they want to buy to ensure no regrets in life. Their solution when running out of money is to look for a rich boyfriend.
Oh My God! I almost go insane after understand their thoughts. Now i realised we have such a huge gap in terms of principles and views. If you are in my shoes, what would you do? try to educate them or don’t get close to them?
Let’s check out the netizens’ comments:
▼” A lot of my friends also said they don’t have money, no savings. But actually they have more savings than me..”
▼” With RM40k savings is quite good”
▼” Actually i think you don’t need to care about their life or their thoughts. Just be yourself, they don’t have the saving habits just don’t bother about them. Rarely have girl like you now. Bravo!”
▼” No need to educate them, just stay friendly will do. You have your own life and they have their own life.”
▼” Can still be friends, but no need to educate them. They will just think you are arrogant if you are educating them. Be careful, next time they will ask you to settle the bills.”
▼” You continued your saving habits and they continued to enjoy”
▼ ” Jack Ma said, Don’t try to change others”
▼” Everyone have their dream, their own choice of life. You can’t stop them, just quietly see them showing off. You should just do things you think is right.”
▼” If they borrow money from you, say no”
▼” Don’t tell them how much savings you have, they might borrow from you if they need money.”
▼” You still can be friends even with different point of views. It’s not necessary everyone with same thoughts. Sometimes we need to listen and see things from different perspective. Probably help you to have different dimension in analysing things.”
▼ ” You can try to change them but if you can’t, just don’t force them~ somehow, one’s attitude and character is hard to change. But you still can be friend with them. Just kept your own stand. Don’t get influenced by them. But don’t forget to enjoy your life too. It doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of money to enjoy life. But time to work you work, time to rest and chill, just rest and chill”
What do you think if you are in her shoes?
