Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, interesting.
Just to think that this poor guy spends a whole AUD100 on luxuries for a WHOLE MONTH!
It really puts things into perspective when you look at what we would buy in a single shopping trip! :oops: :oops:
What also brought it home to me was when I bought my car. I was told by our Indian male secretaries that they could have bought 4 large houses with the same money, in a pretty good neighbourhood in India. I actually felt embarrassed!

it was very humbling for me as well, that is why i shared, considering how much i spend a day and to think that our office boy has been in the same job for 20 years, put 3 kids through uni, bought a farm, etc. it really makes you think.

What a nice thing to share. Sometimes I hear stories that their colleagues treat them like trash. As it is, living here is not easy for them so I can't understand why some people make it more difficult for them. Babu shared something that we sometimes overlook..... appreciate and be contented. Because there will always be other people who are less unfortunate than us.
