In this episode of Round Table, Steve, Xingyu, and Yushun discuss whether the DIY movement truly saves money, with many young people finding that the cost of tools, materials, and time often exceeds the price of buying finished products. They explore how DIY has evolved into a form of self-expression and creativity, driven by social media trends, and offer advice on approaching DIY projects to avoid overspending and frustration. The second half of the podcast addresses "day-off shame," the anxiety employees feel when taking time off, despite it being a guaranteed benefit. They analyze the reasons behind this phenomenon, including fear of disapproval and the pressure to appear dedicated, and suggest shifting mindsets to embrace deserved time off for better well-being and productivity.
