Lucky Kids

My brother-in-law asked me this morning how much does he have to save before he can buy himself a laptop. I told him if he stops drinking starbucks coffee everyday and eat at McDonalds instead of high-end restaurants, he may have a chance to buy one before the year ends. You’d think if he can afford to go to Starbucks everyday that he can at least buy himself one of those cheap netbooks available everywhere. But no, because of his expensive lifestyle, he’d be lucky to have a few dollars left at the end of the month. I’m sure my mother-in-law will pity him soon as long as she doesn’t know how he’s been spending his school allowance.
