  1. When I graduated college, I rented a room with a family for 2 years. Also, I took a 2nd job on the weekends as I waited tables on Sat / Sun even working double shifts. I worked 7 days a week for over a year. Even after I moved out I had a roommate for the next 7 years and on and off I kept my 2nd job (although I changed the part-time schedule a bit and only worked 2 shifts: Sat night and a swing shift on Sun 11AM-8PM.). When I finally quit the 2nd job, it felt a bit weird and just started working more at the office job (not getting paid extra). At one point, I didn't take a vacation for 5 years. More out of choice and not because of any constraints. And, that was because my friend was getting married.

  2.  @quents  When I look back at the partying I did in my 20s, it was overrated. I should have worked even more, lol.

  3. My female cousin only went to a 2 year school, so she started working normal retail job. She sacrificed for 5+ years and didn’t spend anything plus worked a lot of overtime. She was able to save 200 million won. She missed out on a lot of things in her early 20s, but they use the money for jeonse after she got married.

  4. You've never been to Korea. Everyone is used to it. They are "sticky" plastic gloves is the only way I can describe it.
