With savings, you have the strength

You can buy a cup of milk tea for eighteen dollars without hesitation, but the world to borrow fifteen dollars of membership, in the end, it is not because of lack of money.

When the "moonlighters" is no longer surprising, overspending has quietly popular, how many people live in a false sophistication, and can not allow life to have half a point of the problem? Once a link falls off the chain, the day will be unsustainable.

Save money, and become a life issue that has to be faced directly.

Only once a person is poor, only know how difficult it is to live without money.

The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into. The sourness of "a penny is hard to beat a hero" is not something you can bear to look back on, but it is engraved in your heart.

Xiaoping's grades are so high that the key high school has sent her a notice, and she has been promised tuition remission several times. But thinking about her two younger sisters going to high school one after another, Xiaoping decided to follow her parents' advice and go straight to kindergarten teacher so that she could get out of work earlier and ease the burden on her family.

The most important thing is that you can be sure that you're going to be able to get the most out of your life. In the same class, she became the "excellent graduate" with the most solid basic skills and the best professional skills.

She returned to the mountain village kindergarten as a teacher to the requirements of the commission training contract. At first, it was less than 300 yuan a month, and she went home only once a month to save money on bus fares.

To save on living expenses, she followed the example of other teachers, in the corner of the campus in the open space, reclaimed vegetable fields, planted a lot of seasonal vegetables, so much so that, every week to go home, can carry a large bag home.

Poor children are indeed early adopters, Xiaoping's salary, and then a meager, but also a whole lot of money, have to be saved for the sisters as tuition or living expenses. It was nine years from the time she got her first paycheck until her youngest sister graduated from college. She could not spend a penny more for herself, so much so that when dating, are wisps of being disliked too will not dress themselves up.

And colleagues, too, were full of contempt for this ascetic girl. Once, Xiaoping also did a then most popular hairstyle, which unexpectedly, attracted great attention, only, people sent not praise, but ridicule. To wit: such a shy person worthy of a haircut?

That was the ugliest time in Xiaoping's life.

Later, Xiaoping finally met her soulmate who understood and appreciated her and married herself at the age of thirty. The other party, although also a rural teacher, like herself, suffered from lack of money, but also cherish the present everything, the two put all their efforts to make the day better.

The couple has a common habit, which is every month, must save a sum of money, living expenses are strictly controlled, and in addition to the necessary human interaction, almost do not buy non-essential goods. When the deposit gradually increased, the couple's happiness is also increasing, even when buying a house, still owed a foreign debt, but they also dare to return within the specified time.

Will make money, but also save money.

I do not remember who said, "No matter how much you earn, you have to develop the habit of saving money."

Like a classic math problem: two businessmen, daily profits are two dollars, a businessman, every day to spend the two dollars earned, the other is to save two dollars a day, ask a year later, the difference between the two deposits. The detailed calculation is a surprising number.

Save money, also like exercise, not by three days of fishing, two days of sunbathing; but day after day, year after year, persistent.

Bin was brought up by his mother because his father refused to support him, so from an early age, he experienced the hardships of life. To give herself a better learning condition, her mother often worked three jobs on the side.

During the day, she works in a unit, and in the afternoon, after work, she first works as a teacher in a training institution, and then after nine o'clock, she goes to do massage for a paralyzed old man, who can't return home to rest until 10:30.

Every month, mom goes to get her salary and keeps it in a fixed bankbook. Then, bring home a month's living expenses and put it in a drawer that Bin also knows, and often let Bin monitor to see if there is any overspending on any day.

Although life was very hard, under the reasonable arrangements of his mother, Bin never had to worry about tuition fees, and his mother even sent him to learn the piano, a very expensive hobby, and specialty.

With the influence of his mother, Bin also developed the habit of saving money. He often remembered what his mother said, do not mind the money earned less, even if today only earn ten dollars, you earn the ten dollars first, save half, slowly, there will be savings.

After graduating from college, Bin, who is good at network technology, decided to set up his own company to engage in software development. In raising start-up capital, there was a deposit of 20,000 yuan, which he saved during his studies, part-time jobs, and scholarships. A few years later, Bin started a successful business, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but he still maintains the habit of saving money.

In this way, the company is a company, a personal account is a personal account, with a generous deposit for protection, in running the company, you can also let go of your hands to do.

There are deposits, life is at the bottom.

Some people say: "money, the more you spend, you do not want to spend money, the money in the bank, others will spend money for you." But the reality is that once encountered the blistering storms of life, no money people, only completely lose their freedom.

When Xiaoping divorced, because her husband had been cheating on her, for the division of property, and lost patience. She felt that people can not rely on, what is the use of money. The ex-husband, is also well aware of this weakness of Xiaoping's character, although he had a fault in the first place, but still has a strong attitude, and lets Xiaoping net out of the family.

Xian Hong, who was alone with her children, faced life head-on and realized that a life without money is more difficult than a life without love.

She had to move back to her mother's house and live with her parents, always stretched to the limit, but more or less a dependency. But misfortune struck again, a year later, Xiaoping's father was diagnosed with cancer, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills, so the whole family is in debt.

The company has to take up the burden of supporting the family. Every day at work, part-time jobs, I tried to fall asleep. She simply did not dare to look at herself in the mirror until one day, unintentionally found that there is gray hair, a forehead, and there are also wrinkles.

Harrumph Murasaki said, "I always thought that people grow old slowly, but, no, people grow old in an instant."

Xiaoping often woke up crying in her sleep, but dried her tears and went back to work. She regretted that she never knew how to live her life and that she only spent money, not saved it.

The day is always a day, the money is also how much to use how much, but in a flash, most of the life has passed, there are old and young, the responsibility and pressure are increasing day by day, but only no money for support. Every day now is a torment.

However, Xiaoping still encourages herself, while still young, and tries to make every day of the moment, can earn a sum of money. As long as the body is good, it will always get better day by day.

Life, this life, and the quality of life, all depend on their own to fight.

While you are young, earn more money, save more money, before you feel, everything is that good!
