"Hey, Xiaoya, you're finally being shrewd for once. Even if you don't use a single penny of this money, you must take it. How about this: put the money onto a separate card.

The moment I think about how from now on, I'll only care about myself, and all the money I earn will be for me alone, I suddenly feel liberated, completely and utterly saved..."
