通过与同学的偶然相遇,经常是靠网络联系,我了解到住在富人区里的大房子里是很寻常的事情。我的很多同学都只是为了去学校而买了新的豪车,也有为在学校里开派对而准备的高档公寓。但是,那些只是物质方面的东西。真正让我惊讶的是他们对日常开销的态度。
Many would invariably go to night time parties two or even three times a week, all during some very intense course work. While I looked for ways to stick to my $25 daily food budget, they had no problem splurging a few hundred dollars a night each time they were out. At the same time, I knew they were taking out massive student loans to fund their gratuitous consumption, along with tuition and basic living expenses.
许多人每周都会参加两到三次夜间聚会,所有这些都是在一些非常紧张的课程中抽空进行的。当我每天想方设法让自己的食品开销不超过25美元的预算时,他们每次出去都能在一晚上毫无顾忌地挥霍几百美元。我也知道他们会把大量的学生贷款用在不必要的花费上,但也包含学费和基本生活费用。
Their lack of concern about repaying an extra $50K just surprised the heck out of me. I wasn't dead broke and could tag along, but I just didn't see the benefit of such free spending. Eventually, I settled into a more middle-class normative life-style and was comfortable.
他们不关心偿还额外5万美元的态度使我惊讶。我并不是身无分文,也可以跟随他们一起玩,但我只是没有看到这样毫无约束地支出的好处。最终,我开始了一种更加中产阶级的标准生活方式,感觉很舒服。
