Growing Up Rich VS Poor in SG: Can You Still Succeed? Ft. Rurusama | Gen Z Decodes S2 EP1 Part 1

How does a poor/wealthy family background influence one's life path, and their views on money and success? Is it hard for individuals from less affluent backgrounds to attain success in Singapore?
In Part 1 of our episode, join Rurusama, Jayne, Keith, and our host Xi Ying as they candidly explore the impact of family background on success, while uncovering the intricate connections between their background, mindset, and life choices. Hear Ruru share about how her family background and support made things easier for her career in cosplay. Find out how Keith's family background strengthened his resolve in chasing his dreams, where he worked and saved up to open his own tattoo studio. Last but not least, listen to how Jayne's circumstances forced her to choose stability over her dreams, where she gave up on getting a university degree and her acting stint!

今天听四位的分享都很舒服，起码没有那种超卡的中文~😁

[@billyngwawa]

If Ruru's parents and grandparents can share their parenting journey will definitely be good for this generation. Listening to real-life explanations will help many parents.

Here’s to wishing that Ruru Sama will be able to achieve, or close to achieving, her goals🙌

Honestly, being poor is mentally and physically stressful. Working from young means that you have to juggle school, work and play, and if you are not good at managing your time or mix with the wrong crowd, your life can derail real quick without any backup plans to save you. You essentially become a "failure", until you can earn enough money as a redeeming factor. Being poor is a demerit, earning $$ is to compensate for it, rather than complement ur life. That's why it is so stessful to grow up poor and it affects how you view $$ and ur values so much. Personally, my own hobby of ice skating burned a huge hole in my pocket, and juggling a part time job and school to fund my hobby was mentally stressful, to the point i gave up a lot of opportunities for dating and social life as it is eating away at my potential earnings

Not all privilege children that their parents will support their hobbies (cosplay/arts etc...) that are not related to traditional work. Good for ruru that her mother support her cosplay.

[@jbrkjferkjbekjb]

In some sense what they say is true but there is always a different perspective - like depending on who they compare themselves with, choosing to be grateful instead of expecting more, etc. stop blaming everyone else for your ‘poor’ life - no one has perfect parents. Even rich kids can compare their parents with ‘richer’ parents but really, just make do with what you have and work hard for your own life! All of you are adults now and way too old to be lamenting / unforgiving towards parents. Be grateful that parents gave you what they had and tried their best - there is no end to comparison. Parents don’t owe you a wealthy life / childhood btw. This is why I feel this discussion kinda lacks depth. Everyone is discussing things on a pretty superficial level and ruru is the only voice offering a sort of different perspective (1v3).

[@frozengammer4987]

Ruru can you be a little bit less hot, i cant concentrate at others at all

[@cnv1812]

[@user-oi1qj7wf1o]
