APAD: Save it for a rainy day.

Meaning: Save it for a time of need.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Most Chinese immigrants born in the 60s and 70s don't need the reminder. My old

friend Bill, for example, is a compulsive saver. He detests waste in all forms

and has found a gold mine of pet peeves in America. He puts all his money in

T-Bills, drives a 210,000-mile Honda, and after 40, stops visiting restaurants

and shopping malls. He saves as if there were no tomorrow. He's been doing it

not for a rainy day but for the next biblical flood!

 

Of course, his house is a dump and he can't find anything when he needs it:-)

 

哈哈，好生动，记得邻家的百万富翁书中描述的富翁的共同特点抠门，爱占便宜。喝最普通的Budweiser，明确告诉作者

之所以接受 他的采访是因为能得到100$

Sure. Bill's a miser, rich in the moolah and nothing else:-)

he can't find anything when he needs it. So true!

So you must be about the same age and are like Bill, too :-)

I don’t save the waste much. can’t find sth due to bad org.

A good story giving a proverb more life.

Thanks for liking. Bill's overdoing it and he has no life:-)

你的例子太极端了吧

Saving for a rainy day and paying off debts is now a top priority for families.这挺好的

同意

Agree. My friend is an intense guy :-)

His beneficiary will be quite happy

Indeed, they'll get paid for living with this guy :-)

a song for you and Billy; People are crazy

 

Wow. Thank you, my friend. That's what we need!

The singer's name happens 2b Billy, but I put u on Billy's

Bill as the old man's role

I'd bet AI helped in this role-matching :-)
