Q. Do you like shopping?

I used to like shopping and do a lot only a few years ago. In a nutshell, I quit shopping. I try not to go shopping and buy stuff. The reason I decided to do like that is it's from one clips on Youtube. One day, I happened to watch a clip, it's about the story that one woman became a billionaire. She looked my age. From an early age, she saved money. With the money she has saved, she started to collect real estate, and the prices of those properties was up, which made her a billionaire. I was shocked to see her and I decided to be frugal. 

Q. Are you willing to lend money to your friend?

Not really. There are not much my friends who asked for help to me. There was once. One of my close friends texted me that she really needed money. She said she was in a hurry. It was just when I got a bonus from the compay, so I thought about it for a while and sent her the money.  That's the last time I contracted  her. Afterwards, I still wait for her and believe in her. 

Q. Do you have life-work balance at work?

I thought my job would give life-work balance before I got my job. It was my illusion. I had been through hard since I joined my work. I didn't have enough break time and I was busy working over and over again. I had been working to the point where I ran to the toliet to pee. Finally, I got the promotion and right away took off work. Now, my mindset is all changed. No one expected me to work hard and forced me. I just did to show off myself to others. I have a lot of regret. My family is first and my job is the last in order. I'm going to loose up a little bit.
