Thrift is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. In the five thousand years of history of our country, people have always attached great importance to conservation. However, as the process of human civilization advances step by step, the fine tradition of "thrift" has not been taken seriously by people.

Now, with the pace of technological development, people's living standards are also constantly improving. An improvement in living standards is a good thing. However, people gradually forget about saving. Think about the past and compare it to the present: In the past, people's economic situation was not as good as it is now. Every money should be used in a practical way, and every money must have a calculation. But now, people eat delicacies from the mountains and seas with relish at Pizza Hut and Radisson Hotel; people happily wear high-end brand-name clothes from Nike and Li-Ning; and people live in elegant and comfortable residences in gardens and villas. Of course, this is still the advanced life needs of people today. What’s even more unimaginable is that some people now are so particular about raising animals. They want to beautify and put on makeup. They spend hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars on them without feeling any distress. Why don't those people think about using this money to help people in impoverished mountainous areas! You know, these few hundred yuan are the tuition for a child from a poor mountainous area for several years! Maybe these people will say: "It doesn't matter how much money you spend, this is my money!" It is not bad to have money. It is something you have earned with hard work, but it depends on how you use it. Although conditions are better now, we cannot forget our traditional virtue of thrift.

Some people connect "thrift" and "poverty" together. Especially students. Comparison among students is very serious nowadays. When their parents have money, they give them a lot of pocket money, but they spend it randomly. Some students, relying on their wealth, would laugh at their classmates who had poor financial conditions, saying that their families were poor. As a result, some students are unwilling to go to school. Some even turned to crime because of this. So this is a very bad phenomenon.

Frugality is a virtue that has no boundaries of time and space, and no distinction between superiority and inferiority. It is something that everyone should have, and is not synonymous with "poverty". I think that in this era of relative wealth, there is a greater need for "thrift" among relatively wealthy people. I also hope that these people will donate the money they save to those poor people for free to help them solve their living problems and learning difficulties...
