应该买任何想买的东西，过优越的生活。

But living beyond your means is no recipe for happiness. Spending thousands of yuan you don't have on clothes, high-end housing and taking taxis to work every day will only land you in debt.

但为了过优越的生活而入不敷出并不是幸福的秘诀，花几千块钱买衣服、住高端小区以及打车上班只会让你负债累累。

And as the debts mount up, just paying off the interest will start to take an ever bigger chunk out of your pay packet, leaving you unable to quit your job, or be fired, for fear of what may happen.

随着债台越堆越高，仅仅偿还利息就会花掉越来越多的工资，也因此不敢辞职、不敢失业，生怕失去经济 You thus become trapped in a vicious cycle of debt and anxiety.

由此陷入了欠债 — 焦虑 — 欠债 — 焦虑的恶性循环。

Such stories are commonplace nowadays, as more and more people aspire to live the kind of life that they expect only money can buy. But there is a gap between expectations and reality. And the bigger that gap is, the more anxious you will become.

如今越来越多的人渴望过上金钱打造的舒适生活，这样的故事也就随处可见。但理想和现实总是有差距，差距越大，人们就会越焦虑。

Age 年龄

Almost everyone feels some anxiety at the prospect of getting old, but some people take it to the extremes.
