A freshman student needs 4500 yuan for living expenses every month, is that excessive?
It is definitely a bit too much. Think about it, a regular job usually pays around four to five thousand yuan a month. If your monthly living expenses are 4500 yuan, then your parents must be under a lot of pressure.
Unless your parents are particularly wealthy and willing to give you 4500 yuan for living expenses. If your parents don’t have much money, then you shouldn’t ask for so much.
During your student years, you should understand the importance of frugality. Even if your parents are rich, you shouldn’t live too extravagantly. Life requires careful budgeting; spend when necessary and save when possible.
If you spend money recklessly now, it will be very difficult for you to be frugal in the future. You will eventually get married and have children, have to support your parents, and maintain your living expenses. If you don’t budget wisely, it will be hard to manage a household well.
You are a student now and should understand the meaning of money. Every penny your parents earn is hard-earned, so you must empathize with your parents and understand them.
