I used to think that Americans had so much money they didn't know what to do with it.
You did?
Yes. But now I'Ve learned differently. Now I have a more realistic opinion.
What do you think now?
There are lots of jobs, and almost everybody works. There is a high standard of living. People earn a lot, but they spend a lot to live. So there isn't so much money after all.
But I still say Americans spend a lot more money on useless things than we Chinese do.
