The period I was working before my army days as a full timer clerk, I only have 14 damned days. It is supposedly a mandated number under the Employment Act.

Sometimes it is how the rich or the poor spend their money that gives them the result. Granted the fact that some are born with silver spoons and opportunities, but when a recession comes and people go from riches to rags, it often constitutes to a financial planning flaw.
Or at least it does for majority of the upper-middle or middle class.
