Discipline is boring.
Hard work is boring.
Studying is boring.
Doing the same thing every day is boring.
Dear son, if you want to go far in life, learn to be bored, silent, and alone.
@PhilMphela An option that you could consider next time is getting your eye test done at Optique, they charge R99 and an additional R400 if you’d like a signed off prescription. From there, go to a Falco Milano store, they’ve got a variety of cool frames + lenses, pairs from 1K+.
So I went and had an eye test so I can get glasses.
The optometrist charged me R300 if I stay in their books or R600 and I take my results. Love convenience so I opted to do everything with them.
They charged me around R6000 for a new pair of glasses. But I didn't like their frames and told them I prefer buying my own and they just for them. For that they quoted me R4000. Just to fit the lenses in my frame.
Felt a bit steep so I asked a friend and just found out that I could have the lens on my own frame for less than R1500 🧐😐
I am confused. Why would the optometrist be that expensive if there are legitimate options for a fraction of the price?
Is my friend playing with me?
They just repossessed my parents’ car and there was only R52 000 left to settle. I have a knot in my throat and my knees feel weak. As an unemployed graduate who still depends on them,I feel helpless because there’s nothing I can do to ease their burden right now.Kubuhlungu💔
