1. The Shift to Indirect Wealth (偏财)
Because you are no longer walking the streets to find each individual can yourself, you have created a mini-system of leverage. You are generating income from an aggregated pool of resources rather than just trading your own physical hours. The returns become larger, lumped, and less tied to your direct daily labor as a construction worker.

2. The Power of the "Friend" and "Rob Wealth" Stars (比肩 / 劫财)
In BaZi, your peers, coworkers, and roommates are represented by the Companion stars.

• Leveraging your network: You are utilizing your social environment (your buddies at the dorm) to accumulate wealth.
• Chart dependency: If your Day Master is weak, having these buddies help you is highly favorable—they strengthen you so you can handle the wealth. If your Day Master is already strong, it means you have the charisma or authority to get your peers to willingly give up their resources to you.

The Bottom Line
As a construction worker, your main job is Direct Wealth (正财)—hard, honest, physical work for a fixed paycheck. But by setting up a box in the dorm and having your buddies drop their cans into it, you have successfully activated your Indirect Wealth (偏财) energy through smart social networking.

50 cans a day quite poor actually
Unless they work.whole day and spend 6 hours at night doing this

The point is not to hoard so many cans...the moment you have a hoard it's waste of your time

 

[asymmetric]

What an ill conceived idea

Lets face it
Its not to extend what card
But probably to buy alcohol or cigarettes

Total returned count: 198 bottles/cans, my ratio is 1:2 self-consumption vs "help others return"

Yesterday I saw an ah ma with metal tongs, who quickly walked away when she saw me going towards the bin.

No wonder my yield is decreasing...

 

[maniamcool]

I havent tried yet

worth the effort for 10cent?

 

[slashGNR]

Now I'm buying water bottle that can't recycle at BCRS...

 

[Eliwood]

Nope definitely not worth the effort.

I have not returned any bottles or cans.

 

[angel99999]

I wonder how many of our ministers will spend their time at the bcrs machine for 10cents at a time.

 

[fade_white]

I did it once for fun.
