1. Live Below Your Means
1.量入为出的生活方式
There will always be temptation to
forsake the future for immediate
gratification. We all want to buy that new piece of technology, treat ourselves to an expensive night on the town, or take out a loan for the
flashy car we can't afford. It might feel great at the time but rash spending hurts a lot later on.
这个世界充满太多的诱惑,使得很多人都因暂时的满足感而放弃了未来。我们都想要拥有最新最昂贵的技术产品,奢侈地享受某个夜晚,或者用贷款购买一辆无法负担的豪华轿车。当种感觉可能真的很好,但毫无计划的开支只会带来更多的后遗症。
Enjoy life's simple pleasures and save as much as you can. Expensive things don't create lasting happiness and security. Careful spending will bring you greater leisure and enjoyment in the long run.
享受生活简单的快乐,并尽可能保持这种状态。奢侈的物质享受是无法带来持久的快乐和安全感的。最终,只有量入为出的生活方式才能带来安逸的生活和幸福。
