I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

It is considered sensible in certain way. If one is affordable, can indulge in luxury once a while, to reward oneself instead of stingy to oneself.

Why some people are blessed with luxurious life. No need to chase, it comes to you. 
Some work like a dog, just to get a bone in return. 
Get real. As long as you're in this world, money is needed. We got to live and live well.

I only can say , REAL luxury is when we are just a child partly no need to worry a lot stuffs.

Care free life , this is why u see chid always happy playing with no worries. When we grow up, simple luxury is gone to be honest.

Need to take care a lot things , worry a lot things etc.

Because kid don’t know life need money. Need to study hard to have a good life.
U see those old folk tray n cardboard collector. Go preach to them those point n see what they say. 

But I do believe there are some who can live by those point by sgbuffet. Thus they become monk with no attachment, craving or aversion. 

For me it is tough. Some are not commoner they are highly educated monk with PhD n etc.

To indulge in self luxuries also needs to hv some self restraints. Not to the extreme of over exaggerated by flashing too much thick jewelleries all over the body. Is kind of weird.

Singapore has 5Cs:

CASH

CREDIT CARDS

COUNTRY CLUB MEMBERSHIPS

CONDOs

CARS


Waiting for PAP to reduce Condos and Cars

using the salaries of FTs and PRs first

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

If one has multi millions, what to do with the money if he doesn’t buy cars and condos? Put in banks, invest in stocks, donate to charities? Or give to jellygaogao?

Whether we are rich or poor, we only live once. If the wealthy accumulate so much $$$ from their high pressure jobs or businesses, but do not indulge in some of life's comforts such as a GCB, luxurious cars, overseas vacations, branded products etc., then they might as well join the hoi polloi in dead end low paying jobs that are less stressful.
