瞬间秒杀听力 第264期:你或许会工作到人生离开

 　　Warren Buffet¹ once said:

　　"If you don't find a way to make money

　　while you sleep, you‘ll work until you die."

　　Normal middle-class

　　use their skills and time to make money.

　　But the rich use their money to make money.

　　They invest the money

　　that they own now to make ROI,

　　which means return on investment.

　　In the past, I usually spent as much as

　　I could earn in a month.

　　But when I saw this quote of Buffett,

　　I suddenly realized:

　　Isn't that making all my efforts in vain?

　　Because I have nothing left.

　　I didn't make anything for my future.

　　That's why I started to face

　　the truth of how I was living.

　　And I made some bold changes

　　and began to save money.

　　沃伦·巴菲特曾经说过：

　　“如果你不想个办法在你睡觉的时候赚钱，

　　那你就得一直工作到死。”

　　普通的中产阶级靠技能和时间换钱，

　　而有钱人是靠钱赚钱的，

　　他们用自己现有的钱去赚取投资回报。

　　从前，我是一个大手大脚的月光族，

　　每个月赚多少就花多少。

　　但自从看到了巴菲特的这句话，

　　我才恍然大悟：

　　这样一来，我每个月不就白工作了吗？

　　因为什么都没有剩下，

　　我并没有为自己的未来创造什么。

　　这也就是为什么我开始正视自己的生活方式，

　　并进行了大刀阔斧的改变，开始存钱。
