According to a new survey, many Americans can't save money because they go out to eat too often.

根據一項新的調查,許多美國人存不下錢是因爲他們外出就餐太頻繁了。

The survey results vary based on age and gender . However, it is widely believed that eating out is the most wasteful. Nearly 69% of respondents said they spent too much money at restaurants.

根據年齡和性別的不同,調查結果也有所不同。不過,人們普遍認爲外出就餐最浪費錢。近69%的應答者表示他們在飯店花了太多錢。

More than 30% of respondents said they were wasting their money by expiring or not eating food, although few people were willing to try to make changes.

To these magnificent people, we can’t help but ask: Do you know what online shopping is?

There are more women who admit to wasting money than men. But this may have a lot to do with social pressure, as women have to spend money on beauty care products.

承認浪費錢的女士比男士要多。但這可能與社會壓力有很大關係,她們要花錢購買美容護理用品。

對於何種行爲浪費錢,不同代的人也有不同的看法。多數千禧一代的人不擔心會在有線電視賬單上浪費錢,但是他們表示自己在流媒體服務上花了太多錢。

It's important to note that this is a self-reported survey, which means that the survey is not about where people actually waste their money, but what they think is a waste of money.

需要注意的是,這是一個自我報告式的調查,這意味着這個調查不是關於人們實際上把錢浪費在什麼地方了,而是他們認爲做什麼是浪費錢的。

Well, it seems ironic that you try to make yourself happy by spending money, but afterwards you feel unhappy for the spent money.

嗯,這個似乎蠻諷刺的,你企圖通過花錢來讓自己快樂,但事後卻因爲花錢這個動作而感到不快樂。
