This is a sad tale about a friend of mine. He has just retired not too long ago and have the only child, a young man who is already working. Well actually he is an adopted son. He just adore this boy, and seems to get him almost everything, the moon if possible and if he has the means to do it.
I learnt he has spent almost 20k on this son from Lap top to the latest handphone. He even sponsor his holidays but deprive himself of such luxury. That is not all he even gave him a supplementary credit card to him. Oh goodness that is a big mistake. He will go on a shoping spree I told him. He said no lah, he always call whenever he wants to use them and promise to payback. I asked him , so far has he been reimbursed? Silent. Why are there such people who spent on an old man's hard earn cash.? And why is there such silly man who gives in? If he does not take control and put an end to all this very soon his saving from his EPF will be gone in no time. When you loved someone does not means you have to give them everything. I wonder would we have handle it any different if we are in his shoes?
