我妈妈总是抱怨生活很贵，因为她每天都要付各种各样的账单。自从我上了大学，搬出去以后，我开始疑惑我花了多少钱，所以我决定把一周内发生的事情写下来。

My mother always complains about life is expensive, because every day she needs to pay all kinds of bills. But I just take it as nothing serious, because she complains other things as well. Since I went to college and move out, I started to wonder about the money I spend, so I decided to write down the things happened in a week.
我妈妈总是抱怨生活很贵，因为她每天都要付各种各样的账单。但我认为这没什么大不了的，因为她也会抱怨其他的事情。自从我上了大学，搬出去以后，我开始疑惑我花了多少钱，所以我决定把一周内发生的事情写下来。

I took a note in my handbag. So when I purchase, I would kept the bill in this small note. In the first day, I always forgot to record, but I still struggled to think about it before I slept. Soon I kept it as my habit. Finally, when seven days passed, I started to check my bills. 
我在手提包里放了一张纸条，所以当我买东西的时候，我就会把账单记在这个小纸条上。第一天，我总是忘记记录，但我仍然努力在睡觉前回忆起来。很快我就把这当成了我的习惯，最后，七天过去了，我开始查看我的账单。

Every day I didn't spend much money. The food I ate and the things I bought were not expensive, but when I got the total number, I was shocked. It was much over my expectation. Suddenly I realized my mother's babbling. Life was really expensive, especially for the one who asked parents for money. I am so thankful for the things I have and grateful to my parents.
其实每天我都没花多少钱，吃的和买的东西都不贵，但是当我看到总数的时候，我很震惊，这远远超出了我的预期。突然我意识到我妈妈的唠叨。生活真的很昂贵，尤其是对那些向父母要钱的人来说。我非常感谢我所拥有的一切，并且感激我的父母。
