Most people enjoy working for several reasons, their job might be fun, or they like their employer and the other people at work.Most people I know however work for the money, I do not know anyone who is loaded or extremly rich, most of my friends work to earn enough money to live.They have to make ends meet(使收支平衡), they have to earn enough money to pay for the things they need, some even live from hand to mouth (仅能糊口地), they only have enough money for the most important things, they struggle to earn enough money to bring home the bacon(维持生活).
It can be difficult to earn enough money for a family to survive. Sometimes poor people even get caught short(手头很紧).They do not have enough money to pay for what they need, or they have to spend or lay out more money than they want for something, when this happens, poor people have to tighten their belts and live on less money than usual. I hate when I have to live on less money, it takes me longer to get back on my feet, or return to good financial health, however, other people are on the gravy train(肥差), they get paid more money than their job worth, these people make a bangle, they really rake in the cash(迅速取得). In fact, they make so much money that they can live high of the hog, they own the best of everything and live in great ease, sometimes they pay an arm and a leg for something, because money is no object to wealthy people, they will pay high prices for whatever they want, sometimes they even pay through the nose(被勒索), they pay too much for things. I am not rich, I did not make a killing(突然赚得一大笔钱)in the stock market when my stocks increased in value,yet I am not poor either, when I go out with friends, I do not want to show out or pay a lot of money, often my friends and I will chip in or pay joinly for a fun night out. When we go to the restaurant, the meal will be Dutch treat, each person pays his or her own share, once the owner of a restaurant give us a dinner on the house, we did not have to pay for our meals. However, I admitted that we had to grease someone's palm(贿赂,给某人好处) we had to pay money to the employee who led us to our table, the money was for a special request, yes, it was a buy off(收买), the employee put us at the top of the list for the table instead of making us wait like everyone else. We had a good time that night and the meal did not set me back at all.I did not have to pay anything. Because of that experience, I will always remember that nice things still happen in the world that is driven by money, but that is just my true sense worth, that is just my opinion.
