实用语境

Why do people overspend?

为什么人们会花钱超支？

I think people overspend for various reasons. Some people do this because they lack basic financial knowledge and budgeting skills, while others may have a tendency to impulse buy. Additionally, social pressure and the desire to keep up with others can also lead people to live beyond their means. Unfortunately, this can often result in people running into debt.

我认为人们花钱超支有各种原因。有些人花钱超支是因为他们缺乏基本的财务知识和做预算的技能，而有些人则可能有冲动购物的倾向。此外，社会压力和追随他人的欲望也会导致人们入不敷出（live beyond their means）。不幸的是，这往往会导致人们负债。
