Saving Money and Depositing It
Abby：We need to start saving money for a rainy day。
Rick：Yeah, I know, but we still need to live too. I don’t want to work just to save。
Abby：Well, we can save 20% of all our earnings and put it in the bank。
Rick：20% sounds too high. How about 10%?
Abby：If we start saving and keeping it in the bank now, we’ll have enough money to retire comfortably。
Rick：I don’t think about retirement 4 too often. It seems so far off in the future。
Abby：If we don’t put money in the bank now, we’ll have to work right up until the day we die. I don’t want to be working when I’m in my 70s。
Rick：I don’t guess so. I never thought about it that way。
