These words just came across my mind.

No free lunch,
No hard work no result,
No pain no gain,
No investment no wealth.
Invest money and time, both are the paths to success.

It is good to have cheap meal and cheap knowledge, remember everything comes with price.
Free lunch, free knowledge is even better. However, always ask for free is a pain in waiting and a slow motion of progress.
Getting something cheap and good all at once, that is what we all want. Often by sacrificing our precious time. Unfortunately, TIME IS LIMITED.

Do we have to weigh TIME vs PRICE?
The answer is all up to each individual.

Half of January 2024 has gone, what have I done?

Best Regards, Let's move forward together
