A growing number of Americans would like to follow Mrs. Winslow's example. Job loss, tighter credit and a renewed appreciation for savings is persuading more people to cut expenses。
越来越多的美国人希望能够步温斯洛的后尘。失业、信贷紧缩以及人们对储蓄重新形成的兴趣正在让越来越多的人削减支出。
But you can cut only so far. Two full years of recession have not left many unexamined family expenses. Meanwhile, prices -- from gasoline to utilities to food -- haven't fallen. And incomes, if you still have one, aren't exactly shooting through the roof. It's time to make some money。
不过你可以削减的部分也就只有这么多了。整整两年的经济衰退让许多家庭的开支已经无处可减。与此同时,从汽油、水电费到食品的价格却并未下降。而收入──如果你还有一份收入的话──却没有得到大幅度的提升。现在已经到了赚点儿外快的时候了。
