How Do People Plan Their Life?

The story of King Midas is not true． No man could really touch the things around him and make them turn to gold． It could be wonderful if we could turn things into gold as in the story． But the“magic touch”, the life without work is seldom part of life in an everyday world．

It costs money to do the things you want to do and to buy the things you want to buy． In order to give a present for a birthday you must first earn the money before you have any to spend． Your home, your food, and your clothes are basic needs． Everyone needs these three things． Many other things we want are really luxuries． Basic needs and luxuries together form our standard ( 标准) of living． Many of the things we feel we “need” in our homes would be regarded as luxuries to other people in other parts of the world．

Have you ever helped plan a family budget (预算 )． If you know you have to balance the whole money the family have earned, you should pay for gas, electricity, water and your house． You should also plan for holidays and other special uses． At the same time you should have some of your money to be saved．

How people earn their money and how they spend their money is an important aspect of the study of economics．
