Confucius said, "It's rare to miss an appointment." Make an appointment, be frugal, be frugal. There is less freshness. It means that few people make mistakes because of thrift. I have been thinking about it carefully recently, and I think this is quite reasonable.

Frugality supports the family. As the saying goes, "if you can't eat, drink or wear, you are poor, and if you don't plan, you are poor." In addition to reasonable management, the connotation of this "plan" is also very important, that is, thrift. Thrift means careful calculation, saving expenses and making life like running water. Poor families need to be thrifty, and so do high-income families. Otherwise, once you become extravagant and pursue pleasure, you will be extravagant and wasteful. Even if your family hoards like Jinshan Yinhai, it will completely overflow. For example, in Humou Town where I live, my father died in 199 1 year, leaving a small building and100000 deposit. Hu was very proud and thought it was time for his predecessors to plant trees to enjoy the cool. So I changed my simple behavior, talked about ostentation and extravagance, made friends with some rich children who ate and drank, idled around all day, played cards and gambled, frequented hotels and restaurants and entertained guests in dance halls. Two years later, the family declined. Up to now, my family is surrounded by four walls. My son just graduated from primary school, and because he can't afford the tuition, he lives and drops out of school. Hu became the laughingstock of people after dinner.

Save money to cultivate morality. A word "frugality" is, in the final analysis, tailored to suit one's own circumstances and made a long-term plan on the premise of curbing waste. "Thrift" is a road of self-sufficiency and peace of mind. "frugality" can not only cultivate the style of self-reliance and hard struggle, but also purify people's hearts and put an end to all kinds of greed: being honest and upright for officials, self-denial and dedication to public service; For the people, do not steal or rob, self-respect; If you do business, you will pay taxes according to the rules and will not be deceived; Teaching is safe, fun is fun, and educating people is self-cultivation ... Yu Sun said: "Thrift is a virtue." It means that all kinds of virtues are derived from thrift. This is the truth he got from social experience.

Thrift can not only manage family and finance, but also purify work style and expand science and civilization. No wonder Confucius emphasized: "It's a rare promise!"
