I haven’t read the book but doesn’t he remember the 1st life, why’s he making such stupid financial decisions?

Just because he remembers how he failed before, that doesnt mean he knows why. He didn’t magically gain a degree in finances when he remembered his past life, just that he was ruined by his own poor choices and that being scammed by the ml was his final downfall. He is already trying to do better by hiring a better financial advisor. And getting the ml on his side from the get go goes a long way to keep him from turning on him in the future, especially if he doesnt get between his relationship with the omega in this life. He’s being as smart about this as he possibly can in his situation. Plus we don’t know exactly for how long he has remembered his past life and what he had the power and knowledge to change since its from the ml’s pov.

I mean that one definitely comes from a place of trauma. The charities are for orphans and the homeless. He was homeless on and off in his last life and never allowed to know his children. He has a lot of deep-seated trauma that he has no outlet for. We have no clue what he’s up to while away from the ml since we dont see his pov this time around. I imagine he’s been wandering the slum, looking for people like himself to help, but that’s just speculation. I’m not saying it’s smart but we dont really have the full context.

I see a parallel between the dad and mom’s story and Jihwan and sooyoung’s!
I think his mother was poor just like sooyoung, his father either fell in love with her or was pressured to marry someone and has a child so they got married , either way he started obsessing over her after marriage , isolating her and not keeping his promises so the mom’s mental health slowly started deteriorating(not sure if she was a little off from the beginning or was actually a happy woman at first), but the father who might be a psychopath couldn’t understand his wife distress and mental illness and isolated her even more , Jihwan seemed like a sweet child desperately in need of some parental affection but the constant fights, his father’s stoic personality and his anguished mom slowly effected him and witnessing his mom’s suicide was the final blow!
I know he’s nothing but a mosquito but I seriously hate this Yejun guy!
