Original:

I had never thought that I had to manage money matters since my friend told me about herself things last year. She had living in Shanghai whose age is 32 years old and single, she worried her life in the future because she didn’t know where she will live and how to spent her last whole life. I thought she lost her way who never made a plan for her lifestyle and work. I liked her before, I never save money and spent whole weekend watched tv service/ movies and hangout with friends. I found some reason about didn’t saving money,such as I used up my salary every month ,I had to buy new cloths/shoes /pay rents and hangout with friends every month. In my opinion from now, it was a excuse, because I picked up my stuff, I saw some clothes they were similarly needed to buy again.

Edited:

I had never thought that I had to think about the way I manage my money / financial matters, until my friend told me about herself last year. She lives in Shanghai, is 32 years old and single, and she worried about the future because she didn’t know where she would live and how she would spend the rest of her life. I thought she had lost her way because she never made a plan for her life and work.

I was like her before. I never saved money and spent the whole weekend watching TV series and movies and hanging out with friends. I always found some reason to not save money and use up my salary every month. I would say I had to buy new clothes and shoes, that I had to pay the rent, and hangout with friends every month. Now I see that these were all excuses, because when I go through my stuff, I always see some clothes that are similar, so I didn’t have to buy them all.

Grammar
