I like to make purchase, since I start to shop online, I will buy things once I like, I just can’t control my desire. As for my mother, she is not like me, she barely goes shopping, she buys clothes once a year.

I like to make purchase, since I start to shop online, I will buy things once I like, I just can’t control my desire. As for my mother, she is not like me, she barely goes shopping, she buys clothes once a year. I think my mother is over thrifty, she thinks me waste a lot of money. We have different views of consumption, both of us don’t make the reasonable consumption.
我喜欢购物，打从我开始网上购物，一旦看到喜欢的东西就买，我就是无法控制自己的欲望。对于我妈妈来说，她不像我，她几乎不购物，每年只买一次衣服。我觉得妈妈过度节俭，她却觉得我浪费很多钱。我们对消费有不同的看法，都没有合理消费的观念。

For the old generation, they have experienced war and hunger, so they cherish what they have and are very easy to be satisfied with the things they have, they won’t spend the money to have fun, because they think it is wasteful. In my opinion, we are in the modern society, we have lived the better life and should learn to enjoy the moment. There is no need to save all the money and do nothing. 
对于老一代来讲，他们经历过战争和饥饿，因此他们珍惜所拥有的，很容易满足，不会花钱去寻找娱乐，因为他们觉得这很浪费。在我看来，我们现在是处在现代社会，过上了更好的生活，应该学着去享受此刻。没有必要把钱都存起来，什么都不花。

For the young people, they like to spend tomorrow’s money, they don’t save the money because they spend all their salary, they like to go shopping and buy what they want. It is not right to spend all the money, we need to save part of it just in case of the emergent situation.
对于年轻人来说，他们喜欢花明天的钱，没有存钱，因此他们花光了所有的薪水，喜欢购物，买自己想要的。花光所有的钱是不对的，我们需要把一部分存起来，以防紧急情况。
