Summary of article:
Jiang Yubai returned to cooking after discovering the prohibitive cost of home delivery. He also criticized youth for blindly pursuing high-quality products, believing that what is really important is to cultivate ability and strength.
Chiang Ching-kuo Grandson, the fourth generation of the Jiang familyxiang youbai has often shared his outlook on life through social platforms in recent years. Recently he talked about the cost of living and the consumption outlook of the younger generation. He revealed that when he reviewed his family’s finances, he unexpectedly discovered that the monthly delivery fee was surprisingly very high, even higher than one person’s monthly salary. This made him decide to return to the kitchen, which he had not seen in almost 10 years, and prepare the ingredients and cook the food himself. On the other hand, they also noticed that some young people were influenced by social media and started turning to higher-priced boutiques. He couldn’t help but say bluntly: “The only decoration for a man is that you have to be strong enough.”
Jiang Youbai, 50, said he recently learned that the cost of food delivery platforms is rising and the quality of food is unstable. The monthly food delivery expense at home is more than a person’s entire monthly salary, so he decided to change his living habits and pick up the spatula again. However, with everything from work, shopping, cooking to taking care of pets, he became so stressed that he could do nothing but curse. Fortunately, her family took the initiative to divide the work and the children could take turns in cooking for the day.
To finalize the changes, Jiang Yubai also began to think about reward mechanisms, such as setting goals for a month, or waiting for a habit to form before giving herself a gift. He admitted that at first it was hard to resist giving up his original convenient lifestyle, but in the end he succeeded in reducing the cost of food delivery, and it also forced him to reconsider the relationship between life and money.
In addition to her consumption habits, Jiang Yubai also expressed her views on young people’s boutique culture. He revealed that he recently approached a teenage student and asked him which clothing brands he was interested in. The student mentioned APE and Chrome Hearts because he often saw related content in the community, and his classmates also cared about whether each other wore these brands, which made him want to pursue higher-priced products.
Jiang Yubai reminded on the spot that this kind of high-quality consumption may be a heavy burden for young people who have no financial means. He even said frankly: “This is a way to bankrupt your family. If you continue to play at this age, your parents’ house will be gone.” He also sarcastically said that if you have to “wear a car on your body” to prove your dignity in the classroom, it is better to go straight to work in a bank vault.
Jiang Yubai believes that no matter what brand you wear or how much wealth or power you have, it does not represent real value. Instead of spending a lot of money chasing other people’s attention, it is better to use your time and resources in accumulating abilities. He stressed: “The only decoration for a man is that you must be strong enough. Besides, what you wear and how powerful you are are all fake.” What really matters is not what you become or how many people know you, but who you are and what capabilities you have.
