Work with maturity involves reality by Ileana

After the astonishment of being part of and experiencing a real work environment, I've grown more grateful for the sacrifices my parents have made for our well-being. The truth is, work reveals the reality — that life demands a lot of money and there are many daily needs. It’s not going to get easier for me.

Nowadays, the cost of living has risen tremendously. As I begin to earn money, I’m already seeing the many expenses I’ll have to deal with, and the money never seems enough — it can’t buy me everything I want without sacrifices.

Along with the ongoing journey of working, what matters most is making the right decisions on the path I choose, so that time and money management can truly play their full role.
