What is one thing about your lifestyle that has never changed even as your salary increased over the years?

Being frugal and keeping my personal expenses to the minimal but being generous with my family. Basically, don't keep up with the Joneses.

Havt been working yet but I believe that chasing the brands will hopefully not affected me when working in the future to prove to people that I'm "doing well" in life or to avoid them from "看不起" or "是个穷逼" impression

As my salary increased over the years, I spend less and less. I think it is age and sort of looks beyond the material. Eg Used to drink Starbucks to Yakun to now drink freeze-dried coffee at home. Used to change iPhone every year to using my current iPhone for 4+ years and recently just change battery to extend its lifespan.

Always take public transport over taxi
