Is it rich?
At first I was just an ordinary housewife. All household needs provided by husband. I am only given the trust of holding money if there is a request only. The husband who takes care of everything. Starting from the cost of electricity, school fees children, to inventory onion kitchen. Likewise for all other annual expenses. Such as the needs of Eid and the turn of the school year.
Any complaints?
No. Everything is fine. All the needs of the standard of living when it is met.
Then conditions forced us to share tasks in financial management. Because we've lived far apart for about 3 years. Monthly income divided by two. Not shared equally. The division is tailored to the needs of the children as well as me. Incidentally the children live with me.
Any complaints?
No. Everything is fine.
All the needs of the standard of living when it is met.
Then We came back together and moved to another city. Here I start a sewing business. Alhamdulillah .. Household finance is getting better. But the need is also increasing. The kids are getting big. The house felt narrow, so it must build a house that was a little relieved.
Getting to know a good clothing material that costs a fair amount. Start to know the brand of shoes that are comfortable to wear, the price is good. Start to know the restaurant hygienic and the price is good. Even up to the children's apparently branded underwear is more durable and comfortable.
Any complaints?
No. Everything is fine. All the needs of today's standard of living are met.
It turns out that the more income we receive, the need for our standard of living is also increasing. And if you think, everything is the same. We are Rich or poor, nothing distinguishes. The only difference is that we must pay for goods of the same type.
Used to buy Lebaran sandals at the fifth floor that cost tens of thousands very happy. Now buy shoes that cost hundreds of thousands in air-conditioned shops, happy that is felt the same.
The poor and the rich are equally happy. And our circumstances are only temporary. Even a second later, things can change at all.
