Donut Manatsanun Discusses Her Approach to Money and Recent Experiences

Bangkok: Donut Manatsanun recently shared insights into her approach to money management, highlighting her preference for working over investing. She revealed that she was once invited to invest but declined due to her discomfort with numbers, emphasizing that money should not be seen as a matter of personal preference.

According to Thai News Agency, Donut expressed her views following an investment scam that led to the breakdown of a friendship. She considered herself fortunate for not believing in investing, as she has always relied on her own efforts to earn money. Despite numerous invitations to invest, her lack of understanding of financial mathematics deterred her. She explained that she has always been accustomed to earning money through work, which limited her exposure to investment opportunities. Recent trends have prompted her to think more carefully before making financial decisions. She likened this caution to the floods before making donations, realizing that money isn’t simply a matter of personal choice. Although she has borrowed small amounts of money in the past, she has always repaid her debts, distinguishing her experiences from the more complex issues of borrowing and lending.

Additionally, Donut discussed her role in the production “Sadhu 2,” which examines the dynamics of power within the religious system. She clarified that the show does not aim to portray religion negatively but rather focuses on individuals who exploit it. Donut continues to practice her faith, making merit and praying as necessary. She respects diverse religious beliefs while acknowledging debates about certain issues. Her past experience of witnessing someone misappropriate donation funds has made her more cautious about making merit. In conclusion, she reiterated that personal comfort dictates her financial decisions, noting that real-life societal events often surpass those depicted in entertainment.
