I really can't live without money.

"Don't get sick if you have anything, and don't want money if you have no money." I used to tell this sentence as a joke, but now I gradually understand the bitterness behind it.

? Entering middle age, I feel more and more how hard it is to have no money after getting married and having children. No savings in hand, heavily in debt. The cost of living is getting bigger and bigger, and my income is not rising very much. This day has made people feel panic.

? I calculated an account yesterday, and my personal expenses are around 2000 yuan per month. It is shocking to calculate this account. Meal costs one month in 900 yuan, communication costs one month in 200 yuan, fuel costs one month in 400 yuan, car maintenance and insurance average monthly in 300 yuan, and other expenses average monthly in 200 yuan.

? I want to reduce my expenses, but I find there is not much room for reduction. The cost of eating every month can be reduced to 600 yuan, but it is not necessarily good. There is nothing to reduce the communication fee, because it includes the home network fee (129 yuan/month). The cost of the car has been reduced to a minimum, because I usually have nothing to do and can't drive. As for dressing, I haven't bought new clothes for a long time. Even if I buy new clothes, they are cheaper and don't cost much.

? I feel really timid to live like this. But this is the reality, and it is hard to change. If you can't make money, you can only scrimp and save from all aspects of life.

? I really can't live without money. It's not only scary, but also depressing. In daily life, I really dare not buy, and I dare not buy. We haven't gone out to eat for a long time, and the number of times a family goes out to eat is only once or twice a year, that is, when relatives and friends come to my house to be guests. We haven't traveled since the baby was born. The only time we went to Beijing Botanical Garden this summer, it's been four years since our last trip. Brand-name clothes have been insulated from me, and all my clothes add up to no more than 300 yuan, and they will not be worn out or replaced after two or three years.

? Because you earn less, even if you are frugal, there is not much money left. It is false to watch children grow up and parents get old day by day. If I lose my job that day, where will this money come from?

? But unlike those who used to be poor together, I am sitting here alone, mourning for both of us. It's true. Even if my wife doesn't dislike or complain, she won't live a good life with me after all, and she is a little too poor, with unspeakable debts and guilt in her heart.

? When I first got married, I vowed, "I must let you live a happy life." However, the real life after marriage has forced me to put aside my past vows for the time being and work hard for the survival of my family first.

? Looking through my empty pockets, my heart is very bitter.

? "Why don't you want to earn more?"

? Yeah, why don't I want to earn more? However, money is not so easy to earn. As the saying goes: "Money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat!" If money was really so easy to earn, there wouldn't be so many poor people.

? What will happen in the future? There is no choice but to work hard. Bitter or tired, I can only grit my teeth and move on. In any case, we should try our best to run this poor family well.

? Money is a good thing. Money is not everything, but you can't do anything without it. As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for." It's really hard to move without money.

? For a better life, please work hard!
