Salary Not Enough?

This morning over breakfast, my daughter talked about her job interview that she went to yesterday. She was told that if she were to be successfully employed, the gross package will be RM3000 per month. You know what did she say? She said the nett pay will be RM2400 (after less EPF and Socso), not enough. Not enough?
Oh my dear daughter, when I started working, my pay was only about RM500. The car I drove was a hand-me-down (my late father's car) and I paid all the house bills (I lived with my mom). And, I was able to get married after 5 years of working, when my salary was only RM1200 a month.
Why you kids say RM2400 not enough? The reasons are, you want to buy a new car, you want fancy new blackberry (a handphone, not a fruit,please) and wear new trendy clothes. And still could not afford to pay for your marriage after 5 years of working? Even to contribute RM120 a month for the house bills you say expensive.
Wow! What a world of differring attitudes in handling finance in just one generation.
