When was the last time you stopped thinking about money?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it was \u201chow can I earn more?\u201d, \u201ccan I buy an americano today?\u201d, or a simple \u201cwhere to makan today?\u201d, such questions will circle back to money talk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you just received your salary or allowance. But you also have rent or mortgage, car instalments, utility bills, insurance, PTPTN loans, and your monthly streaming subscriptions, which you should unsubscribe from if you haven&#8217;t used them in the past 3 days.
