I think

I have become very "money-minded"

nono, not stingy .. but mindful of money.

seems like from the recent conversations, most revolved around money.. how they Need lots of it and how they gonna Spend lots of it.. even going into details of the allocation

such a realistic and materialistic world afterall..

but then, its good exposure..I learned lots.
you get to be mindful and careful and able to plan better.. for whatever reasons you have in mind.. not just for weddings and such..

and so.. I resolve to keep 5 digits in my bank all the time ><
