You can't trust a single word a gambler says. Who wasn't a gambler in the past?
With the help of my parents, I managed to pay off my debts and cancel all my credit cards. I was determined to quit gambling. But the scar healed and the pain was forgotten. This sentence applies to every gambler!
This company always owes me wages, which means I have no money to spend. What should I do? I have tasted the sweetness of credit cards, so how can I resist? I applied for more credit cards one by one. Uncontrolled spending, plus gambling. In the engineering unit, after work, I play mahjong, bullfighting, and poker. I am not lucky in gambling, and my credit cards have been emptied one by one... In the eyes of others, gamblers can really do anything stupid. And, in the eyes of gamblers, when they are addicted to gambling, money is really just paper.
Let me tell you about an incident when I was addicted to gambling, and see if you guys have done the same stupid thing. At that time, I won a little from gambling, and wanted to buy a laptop, so I went to buy a laptop from Lianluo for more than 6,000 yuan. But the next day after I bought it, I lost money in a card game... What should I do if I still wanted to play? I found a pawn shop and pawned it for 3,000 yuan. The interest rate for a week was about 500 yuan... As a result, I won 2,000 yuan the next day, and then I spent 3,500 yuan to redeem it... Then I lost again on the third day, and on the fourth day I pawned it for another 3,000 yuan... Anyway, within 10 days, I pawned it three times and paid 1,500 yuan in interest... Then I felt so stupid, so I just sold the laptop... I sold it for 4,000 yuan...
Uncontrolled spending, plus gambling... In 2014, my credit card was almost maxed out. I was transferred back to my hometown of Guiyang for work... I had the idea of quitting, and it was so strong!
First of all, I wanted to quit last year, but my dad persuaded me to stay. I was still in Kunming last year. My dad told me to hold on a little longer, and that he would find a way to get me a job in Guiyang next year, because it was hard to find a job now, etc. In this way, I held on for another half a year! Now, with my current understanding, I look back on the past. I have a suggestion for my brothers.
If your parents have not achieved much, you must not listen to them or their advice. Because their upper limit is your upper limit. They do not have a high level of cognition and cannot give you good advice. In addition to limiting your development, they cannot help you make any decisions and may even hold you back. Because in the subconscious of every parent, they may not even realize it themselves. They only hope that their children are safe, have a stable and decent job, get married and have children, and go smoothly without causing trouble for themselves! They subconsciously do not want their children to venture out, because venture means instability and uncertainty. They may get rich, but they may also fail, and after failing, it will definitely cause them trouble.
To be honest, I often talk to my wife about my son's future plans. I hope they can have a stable job or do something they like. I don't want them to do something dangerous, such as starting a business... I want them to live a stable life. Why do I want that? I reflected on myself later. I also hope that my son can live a stable life happily guarding his wealth. In my subconscious, I don't want them to venture out, toss around, and end up with a lot of trouble.
So, unless your parents have achieved great success, you can listen to their advice. Otherwise, don't consult them about anything. Their advice is likely to be wrong and will only limit your development and not help you. Because they themselves have not achieved great success, how can they give you advice for success? . .
Back to the topic. At the end of 2014, I finally decided to quit my job. There were several reasons.
1. I met my girlfriend, and when we were very close, I wanted to go to Sanya together. However, my boss didn’t approve my request for leave, so I left the next day in a rage.
2. I’ve had enough of the company’s wage arrears. They routinely owe me 3 months’ wages, and the longest is 8 months. And you don’t know when I’ll get paid, or how many months I’ll get paid at a time… For example, I was owed 6 months’ wages once, and I thought I should get at least 3 months’ wages… But they only paid me one month’s wages… I can’t even pay them enough to pay them back…
3. The atmosphere of the state-owned enterprise, the relationship between the leaders, and the relationship between colleagues have changed. With my personality, I am extremely uncomfortable with it. I don’t like it, and I am not good at it. . .
Actually, the salary was quite low. But from my perspective at the time, I didn’t think that 5,000 or 6,000 yuan a month was too little, so I didn’t think the salary was too low. . . From my perspective now, a salary of 5,000 or 6,000 yuan a month is really too cheap. . .
Using the excuse that my leave request was not approved, I quit my job. The next day, I took my girlfriend to Sanya... So, being young is really good. In my 20s, I have nothing to worry about. After deciding to quit and saying it out loud, it was the first time in several years that I felt so relaxed, as if I was completely free. It was really nice to let go of myself after being suppressed for several years...
That trip to Sanya was my first time traveling with my girlfriend, and it was also my first time to Sanya... I remember my girlfriend asked me if I had any money, and I said yes. She asked where it was? I said I still had more than 6,000 in my Everbright Bank credit card... Yes, I still had 6,000 in my Everbright Bank credit card, and all other credit cards had been used up... After I finished speaking, we both laughed. We were really young at that time, without pressure or mental burden. We had no money and were in debt, but as long as we could still get by, we had no worries.
At that time, when you took a plane, you had to choose the time and compare various apps. It took a long time to find the most suitable time and the cheapest flight. I remember that the flight cost only more than 300 yuan per person, and the return ticket was even 80 yuan per person. Although I was a little poor at that time, I was really happy. Now, of course, I am happy, at least I don’t have to look at the price anymore. I can directly choose business class tickets and then see which time is most suitable. Basically, it takes no more than 10 minutes to book. 😀
I still remember the first hotel we stayed in at that time. It cost more than 400 yuan a night. It was the Clarke Quay Hotel in Sanya Bay. There was a swimming pool downstairs. It was so high-end. This was our first impression... We arrived at the hotel foolishly and immediately changed into our swimsuits to go swimming at the beach. It was past 8 o'clock in the evening and it was dark... We foolishly crossed the road and came to the beach. All we saw was the pitch-black sea and no one... We both laughed and felt funny about how unsophisticated we were...
The next day, we went to Sanya Bay and visited the MGM Hotel. We looked at the big lion at the entrance for a long time and took several photos together. At that time, I said that this hotel costs thousands of yuan a night, who are the people staying there... Forgive me, I was really ignorant at that time... Seeing that my wife was reluctant to leave, I said that we should also experience it for one night. I checked on Meituan. If it doesn’t exceed 1,200, we will stay for one night! At that time, we only had more than 6,000 yuan in our credit card when we went to Sanya. We were really ignorant and fearless... But in the end, we still didn’t stay there. Meituan checked that it cost more than 1,400 yuan, which was 200 yuan more. It was a price that we couldn’t bear in our hearts, so we didn’t want to stay in the end... We just said that we would experience it again when we have money in the future...
I went to Sanya many times later, but never stayed at MGM. . . . Of course, it wasn’t that I couldn’t afford it, but I just didn’t like it. . .
It seems like I have written too much about the trivialities of life, but they are all arranged in chronological order, the things that left a deep impression on me... Anyway, my brothers like to listen to stories, so I will just talk about them slowly, there is no rush...
That’s it, I resigned. It was 2014-2015, almost a year. During this period, my wife found a job as a shop assistant, earning 1,800 yuan a month... Then she always said that the boss valued her very much and wanted to raise her salary... Seeing that he was smart, she transferred him to the office to issue invoices, and raised his salary to 2,500... Later I found out that every boss deceives employees in this way and motivates them...
As for me, I have been playing Fantasy Westward Journey to earn gold coins in the past year... Many of you should have played Fantasy Westward Journey, right? I started playing it in my freshman year, and have been playing it for almost 10 years. At that time, I opened five accounts, worked as a master, caught ghosts, and killed rings... I sold the gold coins I earned in the Treasure Pavilion... I also caught Vajra. I remember that Vajra could be sold for 80 yuan, and some could be sold for 150... The most I caught was 2 in an afternoon, and I sold them for 200 yuan... For this reason, we specially ordered two dishes at the restaurant downstairs to celebrate... This also led to my wife asking me every day when I got home from work how many Vajra I caught today...
In this way, time quickly came to the end of 2014. My income could not keep up with my expenses. My financial situation deteriorated sharply and all my credit cards were maxed out. In 2015, I got married. And I finally got the chance to make my first pot of gold in life.
I will write the next chapter tomorrow. If you like it, please follow me. Thanks! Haha😀
