Don't save what is left after spending. But spend what is left after savings.

Wanting to save money is not enough. Anyway, there are a lot of things which didn't come true although you wanted them to.
想存錢是遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠的，畢竟你希望發(fā)生的事情并不一定就能發(fā)生。

Saving is a technique . It's simple. It's just not easy.
存錢是一門技術(shù)，這門技術(shù)很簡(jiǎn)單，只是不容易實(shí)現(xiàn)。

If you only come to think about saving after you spend, there is no chance for you to accumulate a considerable fortune, because spending is always irrational.
如果你總是在消費(fèi)之后才想著應(yīng)該存錢，那你肯定存不下錢，因?yàn)槿魏蜗M(fèi)都是非理性的。

The way that works is to make plans in advance.
真正可行的方法，是事先計(jì)劃好自己的消費(fèi)方式。

Would it be too much to use 40% of my income to rent an apartment?
