Extravagant¹ spending on college campus

According to a survey, in recent years, the monthly expenditure² of a college student has been on the sharp rise. Many college students spend money like water and have no concept of thrift³ in their mind. They take it for granted that they spend money from their parents before they enter into society.

This extravagant spending is mainly causd by the following factors: First of all, nowadays, most students are the only children of their families. They are the apple in their family's eyes and naturally get more care and pocket money. Secondly⁴, with the improvement of living standards, parents can afford higher expenditures⁵ of their children. Thirdly, some students like to pursue fashion and trends, which tends to need more money. Finally,campus love is also a possible factor causing extravagant spending.

Form my point of view, a college student as a pure consumer should learn to be thrifty⁶ we should limit our expenditure on barely necessities but not buy whatever we want, regardless of their prices. The habit of thrift can help us form right values and is favorable to our future development.
