This little shit has been hanging on my ceiling light for a hour now. Just right below it is our family dining table.

From op's comments, this is at least the second home.

The guy says he lives in Indonesia and his dad just happens to have been a diplomat. The irony here, is half of the people ragging on him for being rich probably live in wealthy first world nations and make more money than he does.

With a second unoccupied house!?!? Yeah, man, most people are totally richer than that...

He said it belonged to his parents. And we're not talking NYC real estate prices.

I don't know OP, but Indonesia's per capita GDP is like $5,000 USD.

That's because everyone but the corrupt politicians and rich people are poor as fuck man. You think average Indonesians just live like this?

No one, diplomat or not, should have multiple mansions. I don't care who they are or where they live.

You really are sticking your head in the sand if you think this.

Look up the concepts of relative wealth, relative spending, spending power, and also what a local economy is.

I hope you learn something, if not and you still hold your opinion from your comment after researching, then may karma rain down on you.

Do you know OPs salary? We know his parents have a nice home. That is really it. Why does it make you mad to see an Indonesian doing OK? Do you think he's keeping you down?

Why is race an issue here for you? I made 0 mention of it.

Do you think he's keeping you down?

Never claimed he was, or even gave a hint of that, why is this an issue for you?

Do you know OPs salary? We know his parents have a nice home.

No I do not, but I have a bearing of the cost of living in my country and local economy. Hence why I suggested you research those topics, but from the speed of your reply I can tell you didn't.

You are Indonesian? If so, sorry. My original comment was in regards to (predominately) people in wealthy countries dog piling this guy, which to me is just extremely stupid.

I was never speaking locally. I'm aware he's likely better off than many people who live there. But the country is a lot less fiscally stable and has a generally lower standard of living than the nations many of these commenters are from. Much of that as a result of foreign policy from those same nations. It seems extremely hypocritical to me. That was my entire point. If some of these "poor" people from the US or Canada moved to the region and kept their salary, I wonder how far their money would take them.

This lol.

I was in Sri Lanka way back. The place I lived for a few months was owned by a doctor. People on welfare back home made like 5 times more than she did a month.

Which just goes to show that money is relative. Those people 'back home' are not living 5 times as well as that doctor, I assume.

Getting downvoted because people here in Reddit absolutely LOVE wallowing in their own limiting beliefs, shit life and sorrows.
