02 Using Tomorrow's Money for Today's Comfort
Recently a Beijing information company did a survey of student life among more than 700 students, and the results have shown that 67 percent students think that saving money is a good habit, while the rest believe using tomorrow's money today is better. For me, I agree with the latter point of view.
Most people may have heard of the story about a Chinese old lady and an American old lady. The former spent all her life painstakingly saving enough money to buy a new apartment, without living in it for a long time before her death, while the latter first borrowed money form the bank to buy a new apartment in her youth and lived in it comfortably, then spent the rest of her life paying the loan. In the story, the results are the same — they both bought an apartment, but their life experiences are radically different; the former hardly lived in the house for she had spent all her life saving money for it, while the latter enjoyed living there for quite a long time because she “ used tomorrow's money today”. By comparison, we can clearly see that the latter's choices of lifestyle is much better than the former's Then, why don't we use tomorrow's money for today's comfort?
To conclude, I think using tomorrow's money today is much better than saving money all day.
