I am from a middle class family. What ever my father earns that goes into our (me & my brother) study and other rents and fees. Some portion goes for food. There is not left much for us to fulfill our dreams like a bike, a good mobile like that. So i feel a little bit unhappy but i never so it because it will surely hurt my father. What about you does your father gives what ever you want?

well. I should say you shouldn't be unhappy.. your father is doing so much. you must be happy that your father has made you enough capable to stand in the society.. well Yeah we were in lower middle class family.. but I didn't dream much like mobile and bike.. so I am always happy with my father.. that my parents have given me enough education that now I can by everything by myself..

I'm in the same situation as you. I live in a single-parented (single income) family and it's usually a stretch just making the ends meet; making minimum payments. There's no room for luxuries in my family. But I really don't care. It's not the material things in life that matter; and being in a family that isn't rich teaches you a lot of good lessons. You can be proud in the fact that when you want something, you have to work for it and save up for it on your own. There's a certain amount of independence and pride in that.

When I was little, yes. Now, we don't have enough money, and can't even really afford necessary things. I don't like to ask for things I don't need, and I'm an adult now, so I don't like it even more. I can't have a real job, right now, but if I want something that's not necessary, I use the money I earn online. I'm so glad I have the internet, because I sometimes have to use that money for emergency things, too (vet bills).

yah,it is really sad when we can't have some things we want coz our parents cannot afford to give it,due to financial unstability.And those things becomes our inspiration to live a better life and strive harder for success.

hello. actually, I'm not the type of person who asks so many things from my parents. as much as possible (except for the tuition fees because that is too costly and i can never afford that, if i'm just a scholar then no problem.) i like to have it on my own at my own expense. but i think, my father will give me what i want if he can afford it, and if it's not bad for me. and sometimes, though he can afford but not giving it asap, that's because he thinks for the right time to give it to me. don't be unhappy if he didn't give you what you want because i believe that he had a purpose why he didn't give it to you. happy mylotting.
