Yesterday was the weekend, we have coffee with recreational fishing. Only in one morning, we had spent an amount equivalent to 2.5 days of my salary: D
Our friends there are too. They also spend a large amount quickly as we do. One of them laughing said "Making money is hard and long; spending money is easy and fast."
I have to admit that he was right. How do you think?

this place every day but few people pay attention. So, many people often lament that "why I am always short of money!"

If you can spend your money easily, I am sure the person who earns your money will be very easy.
In this philosophy, I do not agree to your statement.
In fact, there are many ways we can manage our money.
For me, I shall spend wisely, to minimize my expenses and to earn as much as possible.

I believe that you have saved much money now :) You know, price is rise every day. We must pay very much money for necessary needs. So, it's difficult to keep money in pocket without spend.

And remember, if you want to gain wealth, it's not how much you make that matters (the amount of money you earn from business or salary). It's how much you keep. So, be frugal with money. Be wise in your spending.

agree,agree.
to earn money need to spend a lot of time, but to spend money, it just takes a while.
when you are working for more money, what you can see is the amount in your account goes up very slowly and periodically.
when you are assuming, even if you are not watch your account, the amount goes down rapidly adn accidentally.
oh, my god, when can we earn much more than what we have to pay.

Ya, it is true, making money is slow and hard, and spending money is fast and easy. Just let said, in my country, if want to buy a laptop, it coukd spend the person for one month salary just to buy the laptop. So it is very easy to spend the money, and only a few minutes, your one month salary gone, haha

Oh, income in your country is high. We need to work 3 or 4 months to save enough money for a laptop! Certainly we must save all our salary! This is average!
