For the old generation, they believe that thrift is a virtue and have been educating their offspring to keep these words all the time. Indeed, thrift can help people not to waste the resources and let more people have the chance to share it. But sometimes over thrift is not favored by the young generation. Take my parents for example. They have gone through the hard time, so they save every cent they can. When we go shopping, my mother always hesitates to buy more food, because she wants to taste different flavor, but she is very struggling to pay the bill. In my opinion, money is used to improve people's life, besides the basic needs, we also need to find amusement. The old generation only chases the former while ignore the latter. Money deserves to be spent on finding amusement.
　　對于老一代來說，他們認為節儉是一種美德，并且教育后代要謹記這些話。事實上，節儉可以幫助人們不浪費資源，讓更多的人有機會分享它。但有時過度節儉不受年輕一代的青睞。以我的父母為例。他們經歷過艱難時候，所以他們會把每一分錢都節省下來。我們去購物的時候，我媽媽總是猶豫要不要多買一點的食物，因為她想品嘗不同的味道，但她卻在買單的時候顯得非常糾結。在我看來，錢是用來改善生活的，除了基本需求之外，我們還需要娛樂。老一代只追逐前者而忽視了后者。在娛樂方面花的錢是值得的。
