You know what we're talking about. When you check your bank account and all you see is ￡20 left to last you five days, and basically causing you to regret every purchase you made over the last month.
你知道我們在說什么，你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己卡里只剩下20英鎊，可還得再撐5天，這時(shí)候基本上你就會開始為過去一個(gè)月里的每一筆開支懊悔了。

So what did you spend all your hard-earned money on? We have a few ideas…
那么，你到底把自己的血汗錢花在哪里了呢？以下是我們的答案……

1. Rent
房租

Let's just get this out-of-the-way first. At least half of your wage has gone on your place and that is always a pretty tough blow.
我們先把這一筆錢拿出來。你的薪水至少有一半付了房租，而且房租總是一筆不小的開支。

2. Lunch
午餐

You keep meaning to get that cute lunchbox out for a homemade sandwich, but every morning you ditch it in favour of a quick and easy shop-bought sarnie or wrap.
你總是打算帶一個(gè)可愛的午餐盒，里面裝上自己親手做的三明治。但是每天早晨你都會把這個(gè)想法丟到一邊，寧愿去買一個(gè)便利的夾心面包或者卷餅。

3. Post-work drinks
下班喝酒

You've had a stressful day so you get a drink to unwind and forget just how many you've had before you get the last train home. And let's not pretend this doesn't get repeated pretty often.
壓力山大的一天結(jié)束了，你想喝一杯放松一下，但是記不清喝了多少杯才去趕最后一班車回家。別裝了，這種事可是在一遍又一遍地上演呢。

4. You shop when you're hungry
饑餓購物

Studies have shown that we buy more food when we hit the supermarket on an empty stomach, so make sure your tummy is prepared before your next trip.
研究表明，我們在饑腸轆轆時(shí)逛超市會購買更多食物，所以下次出門前要確保你的肚子已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了。

5. Broken phone
弄壞手機(jī)

Mobile phone – How many times have you cracked your screen now? Shelling out to get it fixed is becoming more frequent for you so make sure you have mobile phone insurance or accidental damage and personal belongings cover on your home insurance.
手機(jī)——迄今為止你已經(jīng)碎屏多少回了？你拿錢修手機(jī)的次數(shù)越來越多，所以，要確保購買手機(jī)保險(xiǎn)，或者在家庭保險(xiǎn)中包括意外傷害和個(gè)人財(cái)產(chǎn)險(xiǎn)。

6. Sales shopping

Yeah you might be getting a pair of jeans half price, but what about the other five sale items you definitely don't need?

用基礎(chǔ)預(yù)算來購買奢侈品可不會給你的銀行賬戶帶來什么好處。

看電影

Nowadays a trip to the movies could set you back at least ￡30 – because you can't see a flick without popcorn or pick 'n' mix, can you?
如今去看場電影得花掉你至少30英鎊，因?yàn)槟憧措娪吧俨涣艘员谆ɑ蛐×闶?，不是嗎?/div>

Be realistic guys, how often are you actually going to justify that money coming out each month?
