Hello everyone, I'm Erya
I've been listening to the podcast of "Money Girl" for the past two days, and a guest in one episode said: From 20-40 years old, there is a golden 15 years.
These 15 years are the peak period of a person's growth, and the actions at this stage determine the state of life after the age of 40.
I agree.
Here's how I grew up:
In October 2014, he brought 2,000 yuan to Shanghai.
The money I brought was not much, but because I left the society in October 2010, during the four years, I:
1. The business failed, but my eloquence was trained very well, and I saw human nature during this period.
2. I talked about two failed loves, and the love was over.
3. When he came out of the school in 2010, he was still the vice president of the student union, and he had a scholarship and a bursary of 10,000 yuan.
In other words, I am still "rich" into the big dye vat of society.
In 2014, after 4 years of mixing, the result was: it is better to have money just after graduation, and the living expenses are gone...
I really had no choice, so I went to the factory to do an assembly line, because the factory provided food and shelter.
The mentality has been lowered to dust.
I don't think I'm smart, I don't think I'm a talent.
In 2010, I was 20 years old, and the state of entering the society was [Zhang Yang]
In 2014, I was 24 years old, and the state of leaving the factory assembly line position was [convergence]
I think it's okay to do any industry, anyway, it's more promising than the assembly line in the factory. So, after working on the assembly line for a few months, I had 2,000 yuan left, and I brought it to Shanghai.
It is because of the blows and setbacks of the first 4 years that there is later development.
In 2015, with the commission from sales, combined with some money from my mother, I opened a clothing store in Huizhou.
My mother guards the store, and on weekends I buy goods at Shanghai Qipu (Shanghai's largest clothing wholesale market) and send them back by courier.
Therefore, I have no deposit, a little money, I will buy, that will be the purchase of money, and I have to borrow from a colleague.
In 2016, he changed jobs and achieved a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan.
At that time, I started to make idle fish, and I was one of the first people to make idle fish.
Relying on the sideline of idle fish, more than 20,000 yuan have been realized.
- In September, I met my husband and fell in love;
- In November, he changed jobs again with a monthly salary of 15K.
In 2017, she got married and became pregnant.
In 2018, a baby was born.
From 2017 to this year, I have not returned to my hometown for the Spring Festival, and I have been in Shanghai.
Including this year, I'm not going back.
Because in fact, I am very busy all year round, and in the few days of the Chinese New Year, I want to stay alone, rest well, watch TV, and read books~

Now I regret it a little.
During my maternity leave in 2018, I didn't seize the opportunity to enter the self-media.
It's been nearly 5 months!!
At that time, I didn't understand, I was reluctant to spend money on classes, I didn't recognize the payment of knowledge, and I took the baby at home every day + watched TV + quarreled with my husband.
It's very depressed.
So, women, you still have to find something to do, and you won't be depressed if you divert your attention.
For people like me, I need to see my own growth and value, and I need to connect with society, so that I can feel safe and live more comfortably.
If I really have a second child, I will definitely start e-commerce during my maternity leave.
In fact, in my experience, a few months of solid investment is enough.
You can make a number.
Thinking about my maternity leave at that time, it was really a lot of time wasted by me, alas...
In 2019, I bought a house in Shanghai.
The self-media has realized more than 100,000 yuan by relying on today's headlines.
I did a good job in the main business and side business, the best month, the side business was 25,000 yuan, and the main job was 18,000 yuan, that month, it was very cool.
A feeling of raising eyebrows!
In 2020, renovation.
This year, I also tried my hand at freelancing for three months.
I had planned to go to Xiaohongshu to become a home blogger.
Therefore, I installed more than 200,000 yuan in the house and specially invited a designer.
However, my aesthetics are really bad, I don't look good in photos, the home blogger's home is clean, and I have to constantly change the soft decoration.
Trouble is dead!
My house has been a mess since I moved in, and I never do hygiene.
So, my plan failed, and the home blogger didn't get started.
As a freelancer, I have no one to control, and I don't do anything but sleep every day, sleeping twice a day.
I didn't get up until 10 o'clock in the morning, I was sleepy at noon after eating, I slept until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and I did a fart job...
There was also no inspiration for writing articles.
I concluded:
I'm a lazy person, and I can't be self-disciplined, I can't do freelance work, I still have to work, and I have a salary for a day of fishing...
So, I went to look for another job.
Later, I actually saw that there are also bloggers who, like me, like to sleep, get up at 9 o'clock in the morning and take a nap at noon.
However, people rely on self-media to earn millions a year.
I was thinking, why can't I survive for 3 months?
Again, on the one hand, I am mentally unstable, and on the other hand, my expenses are too large.
The blogger who sleeps twice a day is single, she works in addition to sleeping, because she is single, she doesn't have much to spend, and she feels safe.
And I, after sleeping, I have to take care of the children, keep an eye on the decoration, and buy all kinds of decoration things...
The most important thing is: I was just a fan blogger of Toutiao at that time, and my traffic was also very small, and my business volume did not rise at all, so I couldn't be a full-time blogger.
In 2021, he was forced to quit the self-media industry.
There is a breakthrough in my own work.
Changing careers, changing guards, finding a new job, with a salary of 22K, breaking through the 20,000 level for the first time.
At the end of the year, he was called back by the boss of the current company, and his annual salary exceeded 400,000 yuan (before tax) for the first time.
In 2022, I was locked up at home for more than 3 months, started to make an official account, and made an IP number.
This number is really out of my planning.
Originally, I always wanted to go to Xiaohongshu to be a reading blogger, home blogger, and workplace blogger.
But when you're over 30, I just don't want to write about that kind of rigid stuff.
I just want to complain about life, about human nature, and about my own personal growth.
As a result, love and interest are really the best teachers, but I didn't expect the official account to be written in this way.
In 2023, it will be settled in Shanghai, and the decoration goods will be cleared.
Debt-free and light~
The light boat has crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Looking back, thank yourself:
- 1. In the case of "it's okay to get married or not", I chose: get married.
- 2. In the case of "whether to have a baby or not", he passively chose to have a baby.
- 3. Firm belief: you must buy a house.
Also, over the years, I haven't "gotten off the table".
I have encountered stuck points and difficulties in my own job and side business of self-media.
However, I didn't give up anything, I kept playing the few cards in my hand and never played the table.
When I encounter a stuck point in my job, I will let it go, go to fall in love, get married, have a baby, engage in a side hustle and come back.
When I hit a stuck point in my side job, I focused on my job and changed jobs.
Then, try it on a different platform.
My younger brother was laid off by the company at the end of last year and didn't go to work for nearly 5 months before finding a new job.
My mom said he saved 30,000 yuan this year, and he saved more than 80,000 yuan last year.
If there is no income for a few months, the harvest of a year is not the same.
I repaid a renovation loan of 250,000 yuan in 2023, and I can still save a little.
Because, I don't care how much I earn, I don't break.
It's the same as making money, reading, and writing, once it's "broken", it's hard to pick it up again.
It's the same for everything.
So, if you want me to say, the cheats of ordinary people making money are not leapfrog success at all.
Instead: don't get off the table.
Whether it's a part-time job, a side hustle, in short, earn more and earn less, you're earning, don't give up, don't get off the table, don't let people kick us out (such as layoffs).
Someone said, "Layoffs are not something I can decide." ”
Actually, you can decide!
It's because you didn't think of danger in times of peace, so you can't do anything when it's time to cut you.
Share.
