Dear Editor,

I refer to the following article: ‘She’s using you as her retirement plan,’ netizens tell fresh grad whose mum demands $1,800 from their monthly pay

It’s not her intention to squeeze you. Money is one form of security. An act of appreciation. Those days retirement plans were so lacking. Maybe no CPF, how to?

Help with household bills plus some allowance is reasonable. (Water & electricity, phone & wifi, fire insurance, property tax, TC, daily marketing may all add up to close to $700. Giving another $300 as an allowance is fair as she cared for you all these years.
Appreciate them when there are chances, that’s a blessing! I think your mum will also save some for rainy days.
Thank you
Chris Goh
