New Year trip to Seoul with my parents To celebrate the New Year, I am spending a staycation in Seoul with my parents until the weekend. Since it's been a while since they visited Seoul, we are enjoying delicious food and also met a friend whom my parents have known for a long time. This meeting left a lasting impression on me more than I expected. He was truly a humble person. There was no extravagant spending, and his tone was calm, but as we talked, I learned that he had been investing in real estate since 10 years ago, focusing on apartments that are close to subway line 2 and are centered around actual living and demand, gradually building his assets. "Rather than looking for a big win, the most important thing is to find places where people want to keep living." This statement particularly stuck with me. Honestly, I only know about coins, and while I have worked hard to earn money, I have always been vague about what goals to set and how to convert this money into assets. However, while listening to him today, I realized for the first time that earning money doesn't have to be only through fast and stimulating methods. What impressed me the most was that he wasn't just focused on his own success; he shared his investment criteria and perspectives with his acquaintances, creating a structure where they could all grow together by capturing good properties. "Isn't it the best if someone’s life improves a little because of me?" His humility and positive influence were truly inspiring. In fact, I still feel that buying an apartment or securing a home in Korea seems unrealistic. However, after this meeting, I thought, 'Even if it's still far away, I can start setting my direction from now on.' This year, I really want to work harder to build my assets step by step and eventually become someone who can properly repay my parents. With the Yapping period not far off at @StandX_Official, if I make a profit from Yapping, I am thinking of setting long-term plans looking at 3, 5, and 10 years for the first time. I am also trying DEX Yapping for the first time, and this year, I want to make it a year where I face new things without fear and try them one by one. In our own places, at our own pace, let's all do our best....❣️
