Living Life the Extravagent Way
I was reading a friend's blog a few days ago and it shocks me to find out how materialistic she actually is. Don't get me wrong, I really like her as a friend and we got along pretty well but I never saw this side of her. I guess we didn't have much time to know each other better as I had to fly off pretty soon.
On her wish list, she states that she wants a LV Mahattan PV bag, manicures, pedicures, a Japanese perm and hair dyeing. I don't even know what the hell is the bag and she already has a Prada bag apparently. This friend, she's only 19 this year. Studying her degree and not working. I really wonder how she expects to buy such branded stuff, live her life like a tai-tai and yet not get into debt. I shouldn't judge her so harshly but these were the thought going through my mind when I read her entry. Her idea of a good meal is one that would cost two people more than a hundred bucks and this is what her boyfriend treated her to for her birthday.
Seriously, are branded goods really that wonderful? I can't think of myself spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a simple bag or a shirt. Is it worth it? I don't agree spending what you don't have. If you're working and spending your own hard-earned cash then fine, I have nothing to say. It's your money and it's your life. But if you're still studying and living off your parents, wouldn't buying such stuff and living so finely be another way of eating up your parents retirement money?

LV wHAt WhAt? LOL:D
Just feel that sometimes the simpliest thing in life brings the more satisfaction.
If I have that much money, I'll probablly go travelling instead of the buying the what-what-bag and other what-what-whats...ahhaa..(being a little nonsensical here).
Too lucky. Too pampered.
Still prefer the simple life now with beautiful people. I agree Mil, it's the company that makes the difference;)
Hahaha. Nice one. The bag probably gets sidelined after a year (or maybe less). An idea of a good meal is something that cost more than $100 for two people eh? I can think of places that you fork out that kind of money and yet the food is worse than crap. Goes to show that cost does not equate to quality and there are some people out there who just have no better sense than to let money dictate what quality is.
