In Malaysia, most individuals rush to purchase a new car when they receive their first paycheck.
They fail to realise, though, that sometimes having such expectations might be unhealthy, especially if you spend far more money than you have allocated.
In this case, the parents of this Malaysian constantly compared their children to those of others.
Ibu dan ayah kerap bertanya bila nak beli kereta Honda walhal gaji confessor RM1,500 sebulan.

Instead, their children turned to social media to anonymously discuss their predicament about how they make RM1.5k per month yet their parents are highly insistent that they buy a Honda car.
Even though it is their parents' dream car, they know deep down that they cannot afford it.
Due to the fact that both their mother and father are no longer working, the children have teamed up to contribute to their support each month.
But they've had enough, in a sense, and have advised them on how to live within their means.
This person advises all parents to have good intentions and to pray for their children to land a good job so they may purchase a Honda car rather than slyly probing, "When are you going to get a Honda?"
