Spending on what is absolutely a waste of money?

你有沖動(dòng)消費(fèi)過(guò)嗎？沖動(dòng)消費(fèi)一時(shí)爽，事后沒(méi)錢悔斷腸。沖動(dòng)消費(fèi)是每個(gè)人都很容易遇到的問(wèn)題，有的時(shí)候頭腦一個(gè)不清醒，就花大價(jià)錢買了自己根本不需要的東西，錢花完了，心情也變得更糟了。特別是當(dāng)你花了不少錢后，發(fā)現(xiàn)你買來(lái)的東西你幾乎不怎么用。而且沒(méi)有用的東西越堆越多，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你所到之處都是你買的不需要的東西。這種感覺(jué)真的很容易讓人心煩。在國(guó)外的Quora上提出了一個(gè)問(wèn)題：Spending on what is absolutely a waste of money?得到了很多國(guó)外網(wǎng)友的響應(yīng)，大家紛紛各抒己見(jiàn)。今天我們看其中一個(gè)網(wǎng)友的回復(fù)。

對(duì)于這個(gè)問(wèn)題，你是怎么想的呢? 也歡迎留言哦！

對(duì)我沒(méi)有任何多余的價(jià)值。完全浪費(fèi)金錢。

2. Clothing服裝

I do not say that clothing is a waste. My point is rather about expensive clothing and unnecessary quantity of clothing. I could spend an ordinary week in 3 sets of clothes.

我不是說(shuō)衣服是浪費(fèi)。我的觀點(diǎn)是關(guān)于昂貴的服裝和不必要的服裝數(shù)量。我可以穿3套衣服度過(guò)一個(gè)平常的星期。

這里我是想說(shuō)包括熱水浴缸、桑拿、高檔汽車等?；ㄌ噱X買一件微不足道的奢侈品。你可以贊助一個(gè)孩子的教育??！你可以幫助有需要的人就醫(yī)啊！如果你有錢買一個(gè)熱水浴缸，贊助一個(gè)孩子的教育，那么你可以考慮贊助兩個(gè)孩子的教育。

6. Watches手表

I admit that I have a big love for watches. However, it makes no sense to buy many watches at a time because you will wear only one watch at a time.

If you have a phone that plays songs, buying an MP3 player puzzles me. Phones these days have no lesser sound quality than those players. Why buy that?
