Do we really need a house?

Handsome Zhou's bought his own dwelling finally, a handsome amount of money! This fancy home placed a burden on his not-so-wide shoulders-- literally he hasn't got a pair of brawny shoulders to match his stunning build at all. Anyways, he is one of the most successful pals I grew up with!

I moved upper into this new office today, everything's quite satisfactory except for the natural-freezer-like coldness and the much-too-stable salary. Under such circumstances, Maggie casually brought up this way expensive topic —Time to purchase a home! She has a friend in real estate business, who'd be likely to give us a 20% discount, C'mon, this is real estate! 20% off can mean a lot. The exhilarating piece of news almost pushed me onto the list of successful new graduates just like Handsome Zhou! Sober me!!!

Things have changed the day you went out of the campus, much of a cliché though. Before graduation, you used to worry about stuff like when shall I afford a home? A car (let alone a limousine)? If things go smoothly, I'll be running a happy home with this sweet love..., and this social formula starts to work now, and you start craving the realization of all those once naive dreams. It suddenly reminds me of the War of the World- it'd already rooted in your mind, waiting to break out. Terrible! Having a habitat thus became the least yardstick of being successful. The plan is I'm going with Maggie to check out the house this Sunday.

Seeing is not buying. Frieda told me about her Kyoto adventures, among which I admire those home-free Japanese wanderers most. Have a home on street, raise a dog, and keep it clean. I guess I would do that if this lifestyle suits the city and country where I am living. So I would still prioritize my "Big Plan" before I take the burden and all.

If there is no other way but to join the current, take it step by step.

My Poor Mama~~

大学时候，每次厚着脸皮跟妈妈要钱，每月一要，每周一要，有用就要，出行也要，没事也要要。钱钱钱，给我钱...现在工作了，轮到我给妈妈钱了，每月一发工资，实在在一小叠塞给她，妈妈居然会不好意思！每次都会想着方儿地要还我一些。
“坐车卡还有钱没？我拿给你充？”
“手机还有钱吧？别停机了我又找不着你！”
“这个月上网费交了没？”
“..."
突然觉得我妈好可怜，以前她给我钱的时候，我想都不想就收下了，从没得有何不妥，父母养育小孩，多天经地义的一件事情。而我现在是名正言顺地交生活费，她竟会跟我客气，看样子倒算还是很享受。以后要尽量让她老人家多多享受:)
