On the Restraint of Spending

Many students spend money in a quite extravagant way. They see things they like and they must have them, no matter how expensive: clothes, jewelry, shoes, facials, hair and nails for girls; clothes, watches, shoes and electronics for guys. It seems that many students reach university and go a little wild with all the freedom after the stress of high school.

There are two differing opinions about this phenomenon. Some feel that it is fine for students to have a little fun; after all, they can only enjoy their lives in college, since after graduation, there will be nothing but work, work, and more work. Others, however, frown on the extravagance; college is, they point out, the period when people form habits of independent living, since it is probably the first time that most children have been somewhat independent from parents.

In my opinion, we college students need to have some restraint in our spending habits. Most of us are still financially dependent on parents, but we are preparing for independence very soon. If we get used to spending extravagantly now, the adjustment to adult life will be extremely difficult.
