Have you ever bought something and later thought, “That was too expensive”? 25.12.19 Yes, I have. When I was a college student, I once spent too much money on expensive clothes because I believed they would make me feel more confident. At that time, each item cost several hundred yuan, while my monthly allowance was quite limited, so I had to take a part-time job to cover my expenses. Unfortunately, that reduced the time I could spend on my studies, and I later realized it wasn’t a wise decision. After I started working and became independent, I gradually learned that real confidence comes from inner strength rather than material things. Since then, I’ve become much more careful with money and only buy what I truly need.
