Consumption is necessary. It promotes the economy. Consumption brings happiness for some people while it brings annoyance for other people, because they think it wastes the money. There are different viewpoints about consumption between the old and young generation. But I think reasonable consumption is the best.
For the old generation, they are very frugal about everything, even the money. They believe that money is used for solving basic needs, and the rest of it should be saved. While for the young generation, they are more likely to use money to find fun. They like to go to the entertainment occasions, such as KTV, or go to barbecue with friends.
The different ways of consumption are influenced by the living situation. The old generation has gone through the hard time, so they don’t have much pursuit for the entertainment, while the young are in the opposited way. Money should be used to improve life standard, or it will lose its meaning. In my opinion, some part of the money is needed to pay for amusement and social communication.

消费是必要的,它可以促进经济发展。对于一些人来说，消费带来幸福,然而对于另外一些人来说消费带来烦恼,因为他们认为在浪费钱。老一辈的消费观和年轻一代有所不同。但我认为合理的消费是最好的。
对于老一辈来说，他们对一切都很节俭，金钱也不例外。他们认为钱是用来解决基本需求，而剩余的则应该存下来。而对于年轻一代，他们更倾向于通过花钱来找乐趣，他们喜欢去娱乐场合，比如KTV、或跟朋友去烧烤。
消费方式受生活状况的影响。老一辈经历了艰难困苦的日子，所以他们对娱乐没什么追求，而年轻人却恰恰相反。在我看来，钱应该用于提高生活标准，不然就会失去其本身意义。有一部分的钱应该用来支付娱乐和社交。
