It pays to be Thrifty
Along with the improvement of living standards, many people are no longer interested in the simple life style and some of them even feel ashamed to be thrifty. In their eyes, thrift is already out of style. However, just as the saying goes, " The love of thrift is the root of all virtue", thrift is a good virtue that will never be outmoded.
For one thing, practicing thrift can help us develop a habit of pinch pennies. With money in hand, we will not only think what we like and what we want, but also consider much about the price of the goods and whether we need it. For another, as we all know, our government is aiming to build an economized society. It is everybody s duty to work hard to achieve this goal. As a member of society, we must keep thrift in our minds. In terms of our clothing, food, shelter and transport much work can be done to save valuable resources such as water and food.
In a word practicing thrift is very necessary and important. Not only it is our traditional virtue, but also it can help us save money and resources.
