教师Vivien讲解

外教范文

I suppose it is harder to save money nowadays and in my opinion, one of the reasons is coz of inflation. Commodities have become far more expensive and the value of money has fallen making it more expensive to afford even the basic necessities like food and accommodation. In the past, things were way cheaper than they are today.

As far as solving this problem goes, I think governments need to (猜词互动) and regulate prices as well as ensure the stability of their currencies. This way people can earn a living, have a good quality of life that allows them to have a high purchasing power so that they can afford whatever they need and still be able to stash away enough money for their future.
