However, without a regular salary, inevitably material concerns arose. Fortunately my father had given me a small studio apartment, and my older brother gave me a second-hand car. I had some savings of my own, as well as a sporadic income, and in fact I felt more materially well-off and satiated than I had when I was still working in Taipei.
不過，沒有固定收入，物質上的焦慮還是會慢慢浮上來，幸好爸爸給我一間小套房，大哥給我一輛二手車，自己也有點積蓄，還有零零星星的收入，其實覺得物質比在台北上班時還充裕、自在。
