Because men are cleaner than women and are also more likely to be the type to “measure the fish sauce and count the onions”. Test him - it’s true. He can stand for dozens of minutes bargaining with the vegetable seller at the corner to buy 10 thousand cheaper, while the neighbor never bargains and often doesn’t take back the change. He should quote the old saying: Generosity is given by God, restraint is taken by God!
He doesn't earn much but he's the stingy type, so he saves quite a bit, but he doesn't dare go anywhere, just hangs around at home, comes home after work, and doesn't like to hang out, afraid of wasting money. People say that as time goes by, the bad qualities of a person become more obvious as they get older.

The neighbor who always talked nonsense suddenly laughed and said philosophically: You are truly famous for being the cleanest in the neighborhood. But in this world, the hardest thing is to clean your mind. There is a saying that cultivating the mind is like the earth, because nothing is like the earth, always knowing how to accept and tolerate all things good and bad.
Usually people only pay attention to the outside appearance and do not care about the inside, because the outside is easy to show off, easy to flex, but the inside can only be felt over time. But life is like that, most people like the easy things and are afraid of the difficult things, like to see what is immediately visible and rarely spend time to think . But never mind, let's have some tea.
