2--What? Again? Why do you keep running out of money?
1--I guess I don't earn enough.
2--No,I think it's how you budget your life, that's the problem.
1--That's my business, not yours.
2--True enough, until the time comes that you need to take my mon-ey.I don't know where you're wasting your money but I think you need to take a look at what's really important.
1--So how do you survive from pay day to pay day?
2--I don't just survive. I put money away as well.I know when I get paid where most of the cash will go, and I stick to my plan. If I follow a budget I don't have any nasty surprises.
1--I'm not disciplined enough I guess.
2--ln a few months I'm planning to invest my money into some for-eign companies. I think you need to reevaluate your spending hab-its.

译文:
1--你可以借我50美元吗?
2--什么?又借?你怎么老是缺钱?
1--我想是赚得不够多。
2--不,我想是你没有好好计划开支,这才是问题所在。
1--那是我的问题,不关你事。
2--你说得对,可是每次你来找我借钱,我不知道你是怎么花掉你的钱的,但是你应该想想什么事情真正值得花钱。
1--那你是怎样度过没有发工资的日子呢?
2--我不仅仅“度日”,我还存钱,领了工资后,我知道钱该往什么地方花,而且我坚持这种做法,我遵循一个比较固定的预算。量人为出,这样我就没有你这种麻烦了。
1--我想我无法那么自律。
2--几个月以后我打算把钱投资到一些外国公司去。我想你应该再反省一下你的花钱习惯。
