They do deserve such indulgences.
他們值得這樣的放縱。
However, they also deserve a home of their own, a secure retirement and freedom from worrying about unpaid bills.
但是，他們也值得擁有一個(gè)自己的家園，一個(gè)有保障的退休以及免于擔(dān)心支付賬單。

Sadly, the pleasure that comes from extravagances often disappears long before the bills do.

That will help you decide which items are really worth it.
這將幫助你決定哪些東西真的值得購(gòu)買。

例如，一名芝加哥女子發(fā)現(xiàn)與同事每日午餐每年花費(fèi)2000美元;于是她決定帶午飯去上班。
“I now put $20 a week into my vacation fund, and another 20 into retirement savings,” she says.
她說(shuō)：“我現(xiàn)在每周把20美元放入我的假期基金，另外20是退休儲(chǔ)蓄金。”
