A friend of mine once declared very eloquently: "The money earned is for spending". The saying sounds like a truth. The problem is that he spends faster than the speed of making money. Buying a new phone when the old one is still running well, changing a car when the old car installment is not yet done, traveling mainly for experience, money is secondary. Initially, it was just a few petty installments. Then it was a long Excel board. He still lived very happily, posting check-in photos regularly, captions always showing that he was living to the fullest. The only thing is that behind each photo is a bank notice reminding him of a very punctual payment schedule. His life gradually divided into two parts, making money during the day and thinking about how to pay at night.
