Grateful to have gotten this in my first year here + before graduating 🥹🥹

When I was a kid, I had a really rich friend.
I was so envious of his house, toys, and stuff.
But after we’d hang out, he’d eat a chef-prepared meal in front of the TV alone—and I’d go home to eat dinner with my family.
It was only later that I realized: I was the rich one.

On a serious note, a person earning 200k monthly has no business having an army of domestic staff.
You earn 200k a month and have a child.
You hire a cleaner for 30k monthly and a nanny for 50k monthly. That’s 80k.
Your husband makes 350 monthly. Pays bills, rent and a driver (60k) from his salary.
