Or why you'll never ever get rich. You see many people presume that if they don't earn enough money they'll not become well off. In fact we could always hear people saying, "If only I earned a little more! If only my boss give me a little raise!"~blah! blah! blah! That "If only" statements of self-victimization?

Who wants to be a millionaire?

When I was a little toddler, my beloved dad made only a meagre of RM300 (approximately $90) per month. Our 2 bed-room-2-storey low-cost home then, only had a table, a fan plus a mattress I guess. You might said that we are poverty-stricken, but we managed to came out of it and now we are living quite comfortably. But I saw a few families who made a few thousands bucks every month but still they are not able to cope with their lifestyle. The problem is that they don't manage their lucre prudently! Some gamble it away and some simply spend it as if they their money is limitless!
