money matters

i ran into a friend yesterday on the way home.  chatted and he mentioned a PA trade that he was in and out for the day and yield huge profit, more than most working classes' bonus for a year.  then he went on half-way complaining about that his wife seems indifferent and not interested with the profit he made.. said that he wished she could be more grateful about the trades.. guess as i have to work 7/11 daily and yet without such a huge windfall, i was a little bit jealous of his wife who doesn't need to work, but shops at the upscale boutiques and does not worry about that we are in recession. my comments back to him was don't you happy that she is so not tainted (that she is not so "tong chou"? ) how many women could afford to have that kind of mind set?  anyway, life is never fair to everyone except for time...
