A man spends his whole life chasing money, mostly not for his own needs but for that of his immediate family.
The
wife works quite alright but there is an unwritten law that says he
must provide all her needs because he is a "man", so he saves up and the
first car he buys he gives to his wife because "she's a woman, she
shouldn't be stressed up" he can still jump buses till he affords to buy
another car.
The house rent gets due and he is short of 50k so
his wife adds up from her savings and they pay. Two months into the
renewal of the rent the wife starts nagging about how she really needs
her 50k, there are things she needs to do, most of which are all
superfluous. He pays her back her 50k that she contributed to the good
of the same family.
His wife isn't very good at driving so he
comes home to see she has bashed in the right door of her car. "I'm a
little pressed for money dear, I won't be able to fix that anytime soon,
do you have some money to spare?" She says she doesn't so the car gets
parked for a month or two in which his eardrums were nearly perforated
with nagging and complains.
She's pregnant! Yay! the first child
is here, it's a girl. That brings it's own responsibilities. The wife's
family came to visit to congratulate them and when they leave, another
unwritten law says that as a "man" you should give them money for
transport
The Man's own family comes too and the same unwritten law is applied.
They
get more children and have to move to a bigger house which requires
bigger money for rent. And with children expenses don't decrease as they
grow older it increases.
One day you wake up and you are 65years
old realizing you've done absolutely nothing for yourself as a man but
slaved to satisfy others, most of which aren't even grateful for the
sacrifice.
