　　Extravagant Spending on College Campus

　　According to a survey, in recent years the monthly expenditure of a college student has been on the sharp rise. Many college students have no concept of thrift in their mind. They take it for granted that they spend money from their parents before they enter into the society. This extravagant spending is primarily caused by the following factors.

　　First of all, nowadays most of the students are the only children of their families. They are the apple in their family’s eyes and naturally get more care and pocket money. In addition, with the improvement of living standards, parents can afford higher expenditure of their children. Moreover, some students like to pursue fashion and trends, which tend to need more money. Finally, campus love is also a possible factor causing extravagant spending.

　　From my point of view, a college student, as a pure consumer, should learn to be thrifty. We should limit our expenditure on daily necessities but not buy whatever we want regardless of their prices. The habit of thrift can help us form right values and is favorable to our future development.

　　根据一项调查，近年来大学生每月花销已经急剧增加。很多大学生脑中根本没有节俭的概念。在走入社会之前，他们想当然地花费父母给的钱。这种浪费花销主要由以下原因引起。

　　首先，现在大多数学生是家里的独生子女。他们是父母眼中的宝贝，自然得到更多关心和零用钱。其次，随着生活水平的提高，父母能够承担孩子更高的消费。此外，一些学生喜欢追求时尚和潮流，这也易于需要更多钱。最后，校园恋爱也是造成浪费花销的另一可能原因。

　　在我看来，一名大学生作为纯消费者，应该学会节俭。我们的支出应该限制在日常必需品，而不是不顾价格购买我们想要的一切。节俭的习惯能帮助我们树立正确的价值观，并有利于我们的未来发展。
