　　SECTION A COMPOSITION

　　Saving Money or Spending Tomorrow’s Money

　　Recently a Beijing information company did a survey of student life among more than 700 students in Beijing, Guangzhou, Xi’an, Chengdu and Shanghai, etc. To my surprise, almost 67 percent of students regarded saving money as a good habit. As far as I am concerned, spending tomorrow’s money today is a better and wiser option.

　　First of all, spending tomorrow’s money may improve our living standards and enable us to live a happy and well-to-do life. Still remember the wide-spread story about two old ladies—one is American and the other is Chinese. In her life the American lady spent tomorrow’s money, enjoying the capacious houses, luxurious cars and all the modern electrical appliances. Before she died, she had paid off all her loans, and she said she had no regret in her life and she had led a happy life. On the other hand, the Chinese one just saved money, living a hard life. When she died, she finally could afford the luxurious houses with her savings, but she had no time to enjoy it any longer. What a poor lady!

　　What’s more, spending tomorrow’s money also plays a significant role in the economy of our country. Since it can spur people to make more money to enjoy life, the consumerism by this trend will undoubtedly drive forward our economy. With the country’s economy developed, the best beneficiary is our common people. In other word, it is the best way to ensure a life free from poverty and anxiety about future.

　　All in all, with benefits to both our personal lives and the development of the country, spending tomorrow’s money in advance will be a sensible choice, comparing with a life of saving money all life long which will surely brings us poverty.
