My uncle once told me that “money goes where respect is.” Didn’t get it at first but now I do. It means that people value consistency more than talent sometimes. That advice really shaped how I handle work and side hustles.

The thing that needs to change is you.
Something like that.

I also remembered what someone said to me; “don’t compare your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 20.” This one also stuck with me, especially when I'm starting out in a work.

That applies to finance also. That's why there are credit scores.

Hmm, hard to say. I think I learned from my father to always remain diplomatic.

Yeah that’s true. Credit scores and financial respect kinda go hand in hand. People forget that how you treat money shows how you’ll handle bigger opportunities too.
