He told me that he bought the car because a junior colleague just got a car. I then asked about his building project and he said he was going to sell the car after a while so he could continue his building project.

This cracked me up,people fail to understand that life is an individual race,if you keep running in comparison of others track,yours would be a failed race.

I know sm1 that made a likely mistake,he was settled after serving sm1, he didnt have a house but he bought an expensive car and married a wife,now the woman have left him

We should always set our priorities right, prior proper preparation prevents poor perfrmance .
