Before leaving work, colleague Xiao Cui received a phone call from his girlfriend who was far away from home. The girl kept saying that she had lost her iphone6, which she had used for less than a year, and told him that her father had given her a new iphone6s.

"This society is really unfair. Some people work hard to earn money, but they are reluctant to buy an intelligent low-cost machine. But some people just need to move their mouths and replace Apple products. " Put the phone down, Xiao Cui sighed helplessly.

I know, Xiao Cui remembered her experience of buying her first smartphone.

Xiao Cui's family is not rich. During his college years, he used a Nokia model 1200, and he could only make phone calls and send text messages, which lasted for two years.

"Tuition fees are paid at home. It is not easy for parents to make money. When they go to college, they must find ways to reduce the burden on their parents. " He said that a young man in his twenties can't help but envy that his classmates of the same age are using all kinds of smart phones. As a result, the idea of buying your own smartphone has become out of control.

After that, he delivered takeout food to restaurants on campus at noon every day, and worked as a part-time tutor for junior high school students every Tuesday and Thursday.

I asked him, "Life has been so tense since freshman year. Aren't you tired? " "I can't help it if I am tired, because I am poor!" He gave a wry smile.

During that time, he not only increased his income, but also reduced his expenditure. Xiao Cui works as an online shopping agent for others on weekends. Basically, she spends 48 hours on Saturday and Sunday and 35 hours in Internet cafes.

My daily necessities in college are all online promotional items. He once paid attention to a combination of shower gel and shampoo for two months, and the suit was reduced from 66 yuan to 25 before he finally made up his mind to buy it.

In this way, half a year later, he had his first smart phone-Xiaomi Youth Edition.

We strive to make money, not to show off and keep up with the joneses, but to keep up with even the lowest changing trend of society in the era of rapid development of science and technology.

During the Spring Festival, my grandmother was admitted to the hospital because of heart problems, and even stayed in the coronary heart disease ward for two days, and she was in danger of being rescued at any time.

In the ward, grandma is panting every day. Except sitting posture, other postures are enough to make her feel difficult to breathe. Watching her haggard and miserable day by day, grandpa transferred her to vip single room. Although it is expensive, the nursing work of mom and uncle is really much easier, and good hardware guarantee has also accelerated grandma's recovery and discharge.

What happened to grandma touched me a lot. There are really many problems in life, whether diet or medical care, all need money to solve.

My parents are not in good health either. My mother suffers from scapulohumeral periarthritis, left shoulder joint and arm pain, and often can't sleep all night, but she would rather do some simple traction at home than be hospitalized. And my father is not young, and occasionally bending down to pick up things may aggravate the strain of the waist muscles and even lie in bed for a few days.

There is a reason why parents are extremely persistent and patient with diseases. On the one hand, treating diseases will cost a lot of money; On the other hand, they don't want to spend time on making money for recuperation, which makes me very upset. I secretly decided that as a son, no matter how difficult my life is now, I should at least ensure that they have a health check-up every year.

I remember that my parents have never been to a western restaurant. In order to give them a taste of "foreign food", I dragged them to spend it once. But after the steak was served, my parents were slow to move.

"Mom and Dad, you eat!" I asked curiously.

"We can't use knives and forks. There are so many people here. Don't be ashamed of you. " My father's simple answer made my throat choke.

I want to bring a fashionable lifestyle into my parents' lives and teach them the latest and most interesting things, but because my son is poor, the current economic conditions can't provide them with a leisure and stable life.

I work hard to make money, not only to change my present situation, but for my parents to stop working hard and live a better life.

A friend of mine, Xiaoding, a female soldier of literature and art who retired last year, has been extremely busy recently.

Since she left the army, she has started a new life. In order to fulfill her childhood dream of dancing, she began to take various art tests.

She applied for China Theatre Academy, Beijing Film Academy, Zhejiang Media College, Liaoning University and Chongqing University. With round after round of initial test and second test, in just four months, she has traveled all over the major cities in China, such as Jilin, Harbin, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Hangzhou.

The admission results are still waiting, but she told me that in the past few months, including travel expenses, registration fees, meals and other expenses, there are still tens of thousands. Without the support of her family and retirement fee, even if her conditions reach the registration threshold of all schools, she will not "travel" all over the country and stick to it.

Whether you are applying for an examination, starting a business or looking for a job, money can sometimes really be the basis for your dream. This reminds me of my high school classmate Jason Chung, who has now settled in Canada.

Not long ago, when he was chatting with me on video, he talked about exotic customs and what he saw and heard: Paris is a city with great feelings and is suitable for long-term living; Provence does have a sea of flowers as beautiful as a fairy tale world; He and his girlfriend kissed happily in the streets of new york and hugged each other under the Statue of Liberty. ...

"Take your girlfriend out to play when you are free!" His words really made my old heart restless. But traveling abroad, even if it is a "poor tour", will make my savings for half a year squander. I have no money. Although I am eager to leave in my dream, the reality must stay where I am.

I want to make money, not because I want to get drunk and indulge in debauchery. I just want to use it to help me realize my tiny dream. I just want it to be the basic guarantee for me to see the world.

After graduating from college, my roommate Xiao Guo and I came to Wuhan to work hard. We are fighting in two different companies across the river.

The day before yesterday, while celebrating Xiao Guo's birthday, he poured me bitter water.

"The company has a place to study abroad, and my superior gave a colleague whose performance is not as good as mine." It turned out that Xiaoguo refused several unit dinners, and the leader gave him a hat that was "unsociable".

"I really have difficulties!" Xiaoguo is not satisfied. "The home mortgage is 3,500 yuan a month, and my salary is 5,000 yuan a month. How can I have too much spare money to support extra socialization? "

His words also hit a sore spot for me. You will often encounter similar "encounters" in the company.

Because of the good relationship with colleagues, the unit often holds some departmental gatherings or foreign friendships. As a new migrant worker from other provinces, it seems a bit out of place to always refuse the kind invitation of colleagues. But even for AA-style dinners, when they enjoy themselves at the dinner table, they are always worried about whether the balance in the card can be maintained until the end of the month because of lack of money.

Of course, I also invite my colleagues back occasionally. This not only requires me to choose the "store" accurately in advance, to eat reasonably and to plan carefully, but also to be careful at all times, for fear that the situation will get out of control and the price of food and drinks will exceed my affordability.

I work hard to make money, not to make fair-weather friends, but to maintain my own life circle, not to disappoint everyone, and not to embarrass myself because of small expenses.

Reality is skinny, reality is cruel, and reality is really realistic.

There are many reasons why we try to make money, but we never think about getting power and status by money. We don't advocate money worship and extravagance. We just want to live a simple life, and we just want to be young people in an ordinary family who can afford the most basic living security.

In the real society, money may not be the only factor for success and adulthood, but a rich life can definitely solve most material difficulties. Young people are very thin, and every thin meal should be carefully calculated. There are always several boxes of spare instant noodles in the locker; You can only squeeze the bus and subway once a day. Occasionally work overtime until late at night. In order to save taxi money, it takes several hours to walk home for more than ten kilometers. She is so thin that she needs to earn enough down payment to buy a house and a car before she can marry the person she loves.

We all love money because we know that poverty is not easy. Even if you are abused by the present real life for a thousand times, you can still tell yourself in countless mornings that you must make your children truly rich second generation for a better life in the future.

A gentleman's love for money is understandable, and proper handling is the key.

Therefore, we are willing to use our youth and dreams to earn the capital of future life; We are willing to "die" to prove our efforts and win a controllable life trajectory in the future.

I work hard to make money, really just because I want to live a good life.
