i have an aunty colleague, she is literally sitting on gold. Fully paid landed property, easily drawing 5-digit passive income every month from investments/rentals. A tai tai but working just for cpfBasically, her financial game is already won.
But everyday without fail, must kbkp about how her life sucks.
The best part? World Cup season comes, she bets $5 or $10 per match. If the bet loses, she reacts like her whole world is coming to an end, lamenting how "bad luck" she is and talking all kinds of rubbish.
Seriously, watching someone with generational wealth breakdown over a $5 loss is a different level of entertainment. Is this a rich people sickness or what? Anyone else got colleagues like this?

I have a friend who has a friend who has his own fully paid up condo in district 2Currently renting it out for passive income while staying in another condo with his family
Works in cushy tech coy with hybrid wfh lifestyle
He calls chicken every once in a while
Drives his own car fully paid up
But when wanna jio him out he will say parking fee too expensive
Or don't wanna meet because the meeting location is too far for him
He will only meet up if another friend offers to pick him up and send him home after meeting
End up usually share about being lonely and emo etc
TLDR version - Stable life with excess $ but dislike spending money on car park fee or driving to meet with friend but overall feels lonely and emo.
