Will withdrawing or spending money at New Year take away your financial luck?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
If you need money during New Year, of course you can withdraw it. You do not need to imagine that withdrawing or paying money will leave you without money for the whole year. Many purchases now use electronic payments that deduct directly from an account. This is an ordinary way of spending money.
You can view the same withdrawal from a different angle. Rather than immediately feeling poor and deprived, remember that you still have money available to withdraw and can pay for your present needs. The action remains the same, but the way you understand it can change.
If you genuinely need money but fear a taboo so much that you dare not withdraw it, you may instead keep feeling distressed. Money comes in as well as goes out. You do not need to see every payment as the beginning of a bad year. What needs adjustment here is your thinking about necessary expenses.
