My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher, she works hard.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us.

My mother has been teaching maths at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}She treats them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}Every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. She seems to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever. Mother never buys expensive dresses for herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for us.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}She just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints.

Often she says to us, “Work while you work, and play while you play. That is the way to be happy. If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society.” What a piece of good advice this is!{#blank#}5{#/blank#}This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behaviour. My mother is great indeed, and I always feel proud of her.

        My daughter Chloe is starting out in college in the fall. With her newfound independence will come the newfound responsibilities of dealing with money.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Now I have a few lessons I'd like to share with Chloe, and with anyone else starting out in college.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}OK,this is almost the only lesson you need. The biggest reason you get into money problems is that you spend money you don't really have. Then you end up in the hole, and it's hard to get out of the hole. You work too many hours to keep up with your spending. And you end up with a life that's about nothing but trying to pay for all the spending on something you don't really need.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

        Make a very simple budget. It's a terrible thing for people who've never done a budget, but it will become very simple and easy if you know how to do it.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}If the bills add up to more than theincome, remove some bills. Pay bills right away. If you have the money, pay thebill as soon as it comes in. You can usually do this online, but if not, it's just a matter of writing a check, putting it in an envelope, and writing out an address—two minutes.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} If you let the bill­ paying get pushed back, it becomes a terrible thing.

      That's all you need to know. If you save when you're in college, avoid debt, and paybills on time, you're golden.
