00:00To save money, I let the faucet drip slowly, so the water meter wand to register any usage.
00:05When the toothpaste runs out, I use a wooden stick to squeeze out the last bit.
00:09When paying respects to my parents, I break a single incense stick into three pieces, just to save the other
00:15two.
00:16Every morning, I ride my bike to a cheap restaurant dozens of kilometers away,
00:20order two fried dough sticks and an egg, and make that my meal for the day.
00:24When I receive a text message about supermarket discounts, I rush to the store and fill my cart with all
00:30the discounted items nearing their expiration dates.
00:33At checkout, the cashier told me the total was $100, but I pull out a thick stack of coupons and
00:38hand them to the cashier.
00:39As each coupon was scanned, I ended up paying less than a dollar for everything.
00:43Using this method, I saved up $800,000 in just 15 years.
00:47I was overjoyed, but one day, while riding the elevator, I suddenly collapsed.
00:52I was rushed to the hospital.
00:54After a thorough examination, it turned out I had a tumor and didn't have much time left.
00:58I couldn't accept it, so I went to another hospital, but the doctors all said the scans were fine.
01:03I wanted to get tested again, but this hospital charged $1,500 for the exam.
01:09I went back to the first hospital, but the results didn't change.
01:12Worse still, the tumor had actually spread.
01:15The doctor said I had only 10 days to live.
01:17I'm dead, but my money isn't spent yet.
01:19So I withdrew all my savings, gathered my friends, and checked into the most expensive hotel.
01:24There, we feasted on all kinds of delicacies I never tasted in my life.
