Due to the endless inflation, more and more
money is needed for living expenses as time goes by. If my friend is trying to
save the expenses, then I would like to suggest he or she to find a roommate. Housing
fee is the most expensive type of expenses my friend pays, and he or she can
also take another advantage of expanding social relationship.
First
of all, my friend can save the biggest amount of money by taking the option of finding
roommates. He or she will be sharing the housing fee with the roommate, which
is the fee that takes up the most of usual total expenses. As the food and
communication expenses are not as expensive as the housing fee, the effect of
saving those two will be very minor. When my sister was in her freshmen year,
she had to save her living expenses so that she could go to Japan with her
friends. Then, she first tried to save her food expenses but as eating was essential
for living, she only save $25 per month. As saving $25 per month was insufficient
for travelling, she thought another way to save money. She found a roommate and
only payed half of the housing fee and saved $200 per month. By doing so, she was
able to save a large amount of money in timely manner and travel to Japan.
Second,
my friend can also have another benefit then cutting down total expenses, as he
or she can have orader soial relationship. Having a wide circle of acquaintance
is crucial to make it in this highly competitive world. Therefore, by finding a
roommate and expanding social network, my friend can not only save living
expenses, but also get ahead of the curve to success. An article that I read
few days ago touched on this subject. In the “SZ Times”, one young entrepreneur’s
interview was introduced. One thing that stood out in my mind was that he got
help from his university roommate when he was expanding his business internationally.
His roommate who was working in a major trading company helped him to have business
connections with that company. Then he further mentioned that having broad
social relationship is the key leading to success. This example is comparable
to the experience of my friend finding another roommate. Making new friend will
help my friend to achieve great success.
Initially,
one might think that cutting down food or communication expenses is the best
option to take. However, it is evident that finding a roommate and dividing the
rental fee up is the most advantageous way of reducing living expenses. Housing
fee is the major expense which takes up the most of the total expenses my
friend spends, and my friend can also have broad social network and obtain the
quality to meet a fair measure of success.
