Today's high living expenses just make things worse for our wallets.
Especially if you used to think that RM 100 was more than enough to buy all of your essentials. Now, it's more probable that you'll only be able to buy half or perhaps less of what you need.
Having said that, business owners often raise their prices without justification even when they are aware that market prices are rising in order to earn a small profit.
We're sure you have heard the story of a man who recently paid RM40 for two nasi lemak packets plus side dishes that he bought from a roadside stall. A bit too much don't you think?
Recently, a similar incident that happened to this guy who paid RM4 for three minuscule curry puffs he bought went viral.
In the comments, netizens were telling him that it could be expensive due to its "premium" ingredients however he claims the curry puffs were nothing close to premium and tasted like the frozen ones you buy from supermarkets.
