家庭财务

Both the husband and wife are wage-earners.

This job offers fat paycheck.

Today is pay day.

I have a family to feed.

Living expenses eat most of our income.

We paid 2000 dollars in tax last year.

She records every income and expense.

I often set aside some of money for emergency use.

开支明细

We need to figure how much money we are spending and what we are spending o n.

Why?

Well, I think we could be saving more.

Really? Well, okay. Get the receipts out.

Let's see. We spent $700 for our home loan payment, $400 on groceries, $75 on utilities, $250 on gasoline, $100 on books, and $300 on entertainment last m onth.

That's $1825.

We put $500 into the savings account, and $750 into our stock account.

$3075, our pay checks are $3300 combined. That means we don't have any rece ipts for $225.

Right.

节省开支

OK. So where do you think we can save more money?

Well, we couldn't eat anymore. That 300 dollars for entertainment is mostly going to restaurants.

Yes. That's a good idea! And you like to cook. What about the books?

No, I need my books.

Come on! If we save more money we can retire earlier and you'll actually ha ve time to read all those books you buy.

Well,what about the 50 you spent on shirt? You could have gotten something for less!

Ok, let's compromise. If you agree to only spend 75 on books I'll agree to only spend 50 for my next shirt.

All right. That sounds fair!
