Scrolling through them, your own year-end bonus suddenly feels less satisfying. Not everyone works at a “dream company.” For many workers, the year-end bonus barely covers a new appliance or a red envelope, leaving little for a decent gathering without careful budgeting.

Checking my phone notifications, gold prices have risen again! At the end of the year, it was around eight hundred something, I hesitated and didn't buy. Now, looking again, it’s over a thousand.
