Until 

I redecorated, everyone said I had a really ugly apartment. My walls had pastel wallpaper

from the 1980s, and my furniture was old. So, assoon as I saved enough money, I started

shopping for new wallpaper. However, once I saw the available wallpapers, I decided that paint

would be better. By the time I painted – and bought a new silver rug and some new furniture –

I'd spent more than $15,000. And then my truck stopped in the middle of the street while I was

driving home with a new chest of drawers. Another $2,000 for repairs. Oh, well. That's OK. After

I painted and replaced my furniture, people told me my apartment looked stunning. And I love it.

Suburban Lives

I'm the president and CEO of a large real estate agency. My work is hectic and demanding, so I
experience an extreme amount of stress. Of course, I have no social life because I work so
much. I'm also married and the father of five children, three of whom are adopted. We live in a
big house, with a tennis court, baseball diamond and three kitchens. Some might say, with my
nice family and good income, I've got everything I need. However, it's complicated. Although we
don't live from paycheck to paycheck, I have huge expenses. I'm always thinking about the
repayments on my home, or keeping my kids in private school. I sometimes think that it was a
mistake to buy such a big house, or even have such a big family! However, I feel like I live a
pretty good life overall. Yes, I'm happy, and I shouldn't complain.

Eu sou professor e trabalho com crianças. Sempre quando estou fora da sala de aula estou fazendo
pesquisas, ou preparando as futuras aulas. O meu trabalho é muito cansativo e vivo muito estressado.
o meu salário não é o suficiente para que eu possa ter um estilo de vida melhor e me impede tambem
que eu pratique mais exercícios físicos. Eu também sou casado e pai de três filhos. Vivemos em uma
casa alugada a qual nos oferece pouco conforto. Apesar de vivermos de salário em salário,
conseguimos comprar o básico para viver. Às vezes que foi um erro para eu ter casado logo. No
entanto, eu sinto que eu vivo uma vida muito boa se comparada a de quem não tem salário. Sim, eu
sou feliz, e jamais devo reclamar.
