The Benefits of Frugality
When Gary Locke, the new US ambassador, took office in Beijing, many Chinese people were actually taken aback by the ambassador’s frugal acts—a plain black suit, a black backpack and a rejected coupon in hand. People had never thought that the government official from the rich country would be so "stingy with money". In light of this story, it is my belief that Chinese people, though relatively richer than before, should remain frugal, because frugality helps us with budgeting skills and a sense of gratitude.
First of all, being thrifty is a way of managing our personal finance. We are all familiar with the "from rags to rich" stories. Li Kashing is a case in point. When Li was young, he was poor and extremely mindful of his expense, bordering on the verge of stinginess. As a matter of fact, it is because he was so careful with his every penny earned and spent that he developed his keen insights into finance. He even urged his sons to practice frugality when they were pursuing studies abroad. He gave them just enough money to cover basic necessities, thus encouraging them to develop a skill of saving money and take good care of their personal finance. It is not an accidental coincidence that now his sons are experts in finance and investment. In other words, thrifty lifestyle is a stepping stone, on which we can climb to the apex of budgeting skills.
Furthermore, leading an economical life is beneficial to cultivating a strong sense of gratitude. As is known to many people born in the mid-20th century, "Clothes can go for three-year new, three-year old and another three-year in patches". In the old times, materials were scarce and people were forced to live economically. Now, even though our living standard has been improved, it is still necessary to remain frugal, because prudent spending would remind us of the hard times and urge us to appreciate what our ancestors scarified to ensure a better-off life we enjoy today. If we are wasteful and take everything we have for granted, it is a cruel and heartless reaction to all the sufferings which our past generations have endured.
In conclusion, even in good years, we are obligated to remain reasonable in spending. This would develop us into a grateful person with excellent financing skills. "A penny saved is a penny earned"—the old saying is still valid in modern times.
