和朋友聊天聊到家具

昨儿和朋友聊天。聊到家具。说老美还真是享乐派的。你看他们即便租一个小小的apartment都布置得好好的。家里的家具有的都成套。墙上又是挂画，又是镶镜的。有的还把墙刷了颜色，配上家具，挂上窗帘还真是象个家的样子。不像我们，总觉得是租的房子，家具是东捡一样，西买一样。为了怕扣钱，墙面永远是空荡荡的，白刷刷的。一进家门就是临时，凑合的感觉。可你觉得凑合吧，有时还在里面住了3，4年。又聊到一个朋友。买了房子快都十年了。除了family room里的一套沙发和早餐室里的餐桌是买房是新买的。客厅和餐厅是空荡荡的啥也没有。其他还都是住apartment时捡来的家具。夫妇俩也不是没有钱的。当年股票都不知赚了多少。想想10年呀，人生有多少个10年。乘着年轻，有能力，该花的钱还是花吧。多享受生活吧！
