Life is like a running account.
Life is actually a running account.
In thirty years, I wrote down a thick stack. The contents of this book seem to be bland, repetitive, and trivial, but they are the truest imprint left by life.
01
Speaking of the first running account, it is purely for gambling, to prove where the money goes and how useful it is.
When I first got married, I was in charge of all the money in my family.
Thirty years ago, prices were low and wages were low. Every time the salary is paid, it takes less than half a month for me to spend the money.
At that time, there was no "Moonlight Clan", but I was an authentic "Moonlight Man".
In the face of my lover's questioning several times, I argued with reason. But after a few months, I obviously felt that I was not confident enough. Rice money, flour money, oil money, vegetable money...... All kinds of odd and bits at home, often trying to break their fingers, and they can't count.
So, I picked up a pen and paper, and the bills were born under my hands.
Every day, recording and recording, calculating and calculating, has become a big task for me.
In the gradual exploration, a neat and tidy "cashier's book" belonging to our own small family appeared.

No one is born to be omnipotent.
A cashier's account is a piece of cake for professionals. But for laymen who don't know how to keep accounts, they must study hard.
A thirty-two-carat ledger looks unremarkable and has a simple cover, but what it gives me is a serious and loving perseverance.
Every night, after dinner, after tidying up the housework, I sit down at the table and apply the experience I have learned from my colleagues in Huiji to my life.
I paid my children's tuition today, the milk money I have to pay tomorrow, the money I paid for my shirts, and the party invited by my friends...... Every point, every part, is written down in detail and carefully summed up.
But at that time, I didn't think much about how to save.
In two months, I did most of my homework, but by the end of the month, there was still no money left.
So, with the account book in hand, my wife and I began to analyze the expenses item by item.
Ditch the daily necessities and find the irrational and most useless expenses.
Find the problem and solve it.
Carefully find out the trick and study life in the ledger.
Under the light of the stars and the clear voice of the calculator, my wife and I slowly discussed the best way to get by.
In the past few years, the small account book has played a great role in it, and it is an important step for me and my lover to join hands towards happiness.
And my footsteps on the road of bookkeeping have been out of control since then.

Life follows good habits, and the two of them can naturally twist into a rope.
In this world, time does not deceive people, and accounts do not deceive people.
Spring will come, flowers will bloom. Live a good life, and fate will be rewarded.
Thirty years have passed, and now I look at the past account books, paragraph by paragraph, section by section, article by article, made up day by day, month by month, year by year.
What flashed in front of me was not only a string of numbers in the ledger, but also a scene of stories and memories with a beautiful temperature.
Thirty years, like a flick of a finger. In a person's life, if there is really anything worth remembering, it is nothing more than every step we have walked with our hearts and every day we live with our hearts.
A sum of income and expenditure, showing the financial stability of the family, page by page, we did not eat the indiscriminate expenses of the sea, nor did we have the reluctance to buckle the rope.
Generous consumption, serious and economical. Even if there is an occasional deficit, we will try to close the negative number.
Ledger life, the ledger of life, open and closed, clear and clear.
Account book life, life account book, no matter how you calculate, no loss or debt, I hope you will live your life to win, so as to live up to this life.
