the 20-year-old

Dejected following his business' failure, the 19-year-old did what any teenager with an accounting degree would do.

He started working.

Working as a consultant was fine at first, mainly because he got RM 3375 a month. This was HUGE money for the young teenager, considering that a little over 2 years ago he was practically scraping for just RM 30.

However, with work comes responsibilities and not to mention forced rent payments to his parents. (50% of his salary was given to his parents as 'rent' for staying with them). Being the naive teenager that he was, the 19-year-old dutifully paid his rent every month.

Upon turning 20, the (now) 20-year-old realises that work is really not fun at all. Long hours and tight deadlines gave the 20-year-old much stress and also put a strain on his relationship with the sweet 18 (now 19) year-old.

Through a series of poor quality work, tardiness and horrible colleagues, our young 20-year-old managed to get himself shown the door after a little over a year at work. Feeling horribly dejected, the 20-year nonetheless pulled himself together and vowed to do better at whatever comes next.

But despite these setbacks, the 20-year-old did finally get a taste of money but whatever he earned, most of it is stuck with his parents who may (or may not) release the 'rent' funds to him.

Pushing forward with God in his heart and his girl by his side, the 20-year-old continues to search for ways to increase his own wealth and those around him.
