Warren Buffet once said: "If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."
沃伦·巴菲特过去说过：“假如你不想个方法在你睡觉的时候挣钱，那你就得一直工作到死。”
Sounds ridiculous in the first place, right? Isn’t that obvious?
这句话初听下来有点荒唐，这不是明摆着的吗？
And how on earth can it be possible to make money while you sleep?
而且，如何可能在睡觉的时候挣钱？
If you want to have an income, you have to work, right?
假如需要有收入，当然就得一直工作，对不对？
But no, what he said is not wrong.
不，其实他说的并没错。
That way which he described as to make money while you sleep is called investing.
他所说的那种“在睡觉时挣钱”的办法，就是投资。
Normal middle-class use their skills and time to make money. But the rich use their money to make money. They invest the money that they own now to make 投资回报率, which means return on investment.
一般的中产阶级靠技能和时间换钱，而富豪是靠钱挣钱的，他们用自己现有些钱去赚取投资回报。
It’s not a hard thing to do, because there are a lot of ways to manage your personal finance.
这个办法并不难，由于投资理财的方法有不少。
In the past, I usually spent as much as I could earn in a month.
以前，我是一个大手大脚的月光族，每一个月赚多少就花多少。
But when I saw this quote of Buffett, I suddenly realized: Isn’t that making all my efforts in vain? Because I have nothing left. I didn’t make anything for my future.
但自从看到了巴菲特的这句话，我才恍然大悟：如此一来，我每一个月不就白工作了吗？由于什么都没剩下，我并没为我们的将来创造什么。
That’s why I started to face the truth of how I was living. And I made some bold changes and began to save money.
这也就是为何我开始正视我们的生活方法，并进行了大刀阔斧的改变，开始存钱。
I wish that there is a day when I no longer need to work and can use money to make money.
我期望有一天能不再工作，而是用钱来挣钱。
