An old woman who looked like a shaman said that she had no luck with money.

I used to...

An old lady who looked like a shaman told me that I didn't have good fortune..
But..
It seems like I really don't have any good fortune..


I worked at the company for about 20 years..
And I'm not very frugal..
In the past, I used to love drinking so much..
And when I drink, I usually have to buy drinks for others, so it seems like I spent a lot of money.

How much do you think a salaryman makes?
I received that money.. and drank and spent it like that..
Now that my children are growing up, I'm trying to be more mindful..


Whenever I hear stories about people who own houses..
There's even a friend of mine who is younger than me and bought a big company, and he has several houses in Gangnam..
And my older brother, who is a little older than me, also has several houses in Gangnam.

How did they make so much money? When I asked..
They said people are really smart..
That's what they said..
I don't think I'm that smart..

 

House prices in Gangnam are incredibly high, aren't they?
If someone owns several houses, it would be worth at least tens of billions of won.

I don't understand why I'm here.. I'm not the boss and just a salaryman.
If I were you, I would quit my job and go to Korea..
Buy a fishing boat and take fishermen out fishing.


Are there any people around you who make a lot of money while being salarymen?

I know a boss who used to be a salaryman and made a lot of money, so he started his own business.
Now it seems like he's going to hand over the business to his son.

He's younger than me but drives a nice car..
And lives a flashy life.

My wife said so.

I also want my daughter to live a flashy life like that..

That's why I did it..
I can't afford to start a business..
Even if I work as a salaryman for the rest of my life, I won't be able to buy even one apartment in Gangnam.

So what you're saying is..
Other people make good money while being salarymen..


I have nothing to say..
I can't make money and I don't have good fortune..

Still, it's fortunate that the electricity hasn't been cut off yet.
I was about to say that.. but I held back because I didn't want to get into trouble.

Did I do well?

    [KR] 오랜만에 일치월장님의 위트있는 글을 읽으니 너무 좋네요. ^^ 마지막 반전은 언제나~ 재미있습니다. 묵언 하신게 장수에 보탬이 되시는 선택이셨을거 같네요. ㅎㅎㅎ


    [EN] It's so nice to read Mr. Ilchi Woljeong's witty writing again. ^^ The unexpected twist at the end is always fun. I guess your vow of silence has been a beneficial choice for longevity. hahaha

    원래 주로 묵언수행하는데 요즘은 말이 좀 많아지고 있네요..좋은 현상이라고들 말씀은 하시는데..


    [EN] @LimJakarta
    I usually practice silence, but lately I've been talking more... People say it's a good thing...


    [ID] @LimJakarta
    Saya biasanya melakukan meditasi tanpa bicara, tapi belakangan ini saya jadi lebih banyak berbicara.. Meskipun orang-orang bilang itu adalah hal yang baik..
