We are being systematically conditioned to embrace electronic money, leading to a new generation for whom money is nothing more than numbers on a screen. You re being numbed. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A Tale of Two Budgets:<\/strong> Consider this scenario:<ul><li>Peter has a $5,000 salary deposited directly into his bank account. He spends $4,000 using his e-wallet, leaving a balance of $1,000.David earns a $3,000 salary, also deposited in his account. Utilizing his e-wallet and accessible credit, he spends $4,000, which plunges him into $1,000 of debt and potentially massive interest accruals.<\/li><\/ul>Both Peter and David might claim to live similarly\u2014eating the same foods and enjoying the same entertainment\u2014yet their financial health is vastly different. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Hidden Dangers of Easy Credit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>The Lure of Instant Credit:<\/strong> Platforms like Shopee offer up to RM20,000 in credit at the touch of a button\u2014with no documentation or signatures needed. An interest rate of &#8220;just 1.5% per month&#8221; sounds minimal but is deceptively expensive, capable of significantly depleting one&#8217;s earnings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Illusion of Financial Freedom:<\/strong> Imagine having access to multiple lines of credit through Shopee, Lazada, TnG, and Boost, each offering RM20,000. This sums up to RM80,000 of credit to &#8220;enjoy life,&#8221; not to mention the various credit card features like cash advances and balance transfers. This virtual money creates an illusion that life\u2019s quality is maintained, while in reality, it\u2019s a financial trap.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"473\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.genesisorigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-04-18-at-10.58.00-AM-473x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3257 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 473px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 473\/1024;width:238px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genesisorigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-04-18-at-10.58.00-AM-473x1024.jpeg 473w, https:\/\/www.genesisorigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-04-18-at-10.58.00-AM-139x300.jpeg 139w, https:\/\/www.genesisorigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-04-18-at-10.58.00-AM-6x12.jpeg 6w, https:\/\/www.genesisorigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-04-18-at-10.58.00-AM.jpeg 591w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Easy Credit from Shopee Loan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Brainwashing of the Next Generation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Marketing Mantras<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>These are cliches that successfully shaped the mindset of the next generations.
