Thoughts after 30 years old

01

Last month, due to the company’s manpower reshuffle, I was transferred to a new department. I will have lunch with my colleagues in the department occasionally. They paid about 5 bucks for lunch every day. What surprised me was that even though they were saving so painstakingly every day, they did not manage to save much at the end of the month. Therefore, after the age of 30, the ability to make money is more important than saving money.

For example, when you first buy something, you can make a shopping list.  When you go shopping, you will find that in addition to it being highly efficient and time-saving, sometimes you may not even want to buy the items on the list. In fact, this is also a way to control your expenses.

Preparing for the future

Only if you have a plan in your life can you lead a calm and perfect life, plan for your future, and leave enough money to secure your future life.

Improve professional ability

The most important thing that affects your ability to make money is professional ability. No matter which profession you are in, you should have professional ability that you can tap on.

Just as chefs must continuously improve their cooking skills, designers must continue to learn the ability to appreciate. Therefore, if you want to improve your earning ability, you need to continuously improve your professional ability.
