A German taxi-driver, Franz Bussman, recently found his brother who was thought to have been killed twenty years before.

  While on a walking tour with his wife, he stopped to talk to a workman. After they had gone on, Mrs Bussman said that the workman was closely like her husband and even suggested that he might be his brother. Franz laughed at the idea, pointing out that his brother had been killed in action during the war. Though Mrs Bussman knew this story quite well, she thought that there was a chance in a million that she might be right.

  A few days later, she sent a boy to the wokman to ask him if his name was Hans Bussman. Needless to say, the man’s name was Hans Bussman. And he really was Franz’s long-lost brother. When the brothers were reunited, Hans explained how it was that he was still alive.

  After having been wounded towards the end of the war, he had been sent to hospital and was separated from his unit. The hospital had been bombed and Hans had made his way back into Western Germany on foot. Meanwhile, his unit was lost and all records of him had been destroyed. Hans returned to his family house, but the house had been bombed. Guessing that his family had been killed during an air-raid. Hans settled down in a village fifty miles away where he had remained ever since.

       A．Use cash．Instead of paying things with credit cards, use cash for non-bill spending such as eating out, gas and groceries．Spending cash makes the spending more real, and there’s an added advantage of knowing when you’re out of cash.

       B．Small weekly savings transfers．I got this idea from my friend, who automatically deducts(扣除) $20 a week from his check to savings．I decided that I could live with the deduction of $40/week without really feeling it — it’s a relatively small transfer that I barely notice, and I save about $2,000 a year!

       C．Stay at home．Going out makes you spend money unnecessarily．You eat at restaurants, go to the mall, and stop at the gas station for snacks．It’s hard to avoid spending when you’re on the road．Instead, stay at home and find free entertainment．It’s also a great way to bond with your family.

       D．Don’t get catalogs(商品宣传册)．Their announcements of sales or cool new products make it very temting(引诱人的) to buy something you don’t need．Instead, stop getting the catalogs, and you’ll spend less.

       E．Keep a 30-day list．If you have an impulse(冲动) to buy something you don’t absolutely need, put it on a 30-day list．You can’t buy anything but necessities — everything else goes on the list．When the 30 days are up, you can buy it — but most likely, the strong urge to buy it will be gone, and you can evaluate it more calmly.

       F．Cook at home．I know it seems more difficult than eating out．But it doesn’t have to be hard．Make home-made pizza with a ready-made crust, some sauce, cheese and veggies．Put some spices on something and throw it in the oven while you cook some brown rice．Not only is this much cheaper than eating out, but it’s healthier.

2.Mrs．Wang enjoys shopping very much because she is free all day long．Whenever she is wandering in the shops or stores, she will have a strong impulse and find it difficult for her to get back home with her hands empty．But it is quite often that she will find what she has bought is almost useless when she gets home.
