A few years ago,my friend Al won the lottery.It changed his life.He was not"born with a silver spoon in his mouth".My friend was always short of money.And the money he did earn was chicken feed.
Sometimes Al had to accept handouts(施舍物)from his friends.But do not get me wrong.My friend was always very careful with the money he spent.In fact,he was often a cheapskate.He didn't like to spend money.The worst times were when he had no single penny left.
One day,Al scraped together a few dollars for a lottery ticket.He thought he would never gain lots of money unexpectedly.But his combination of numbers was chosen and he won the lottery.Al was so excited.The first thing he did was to buy a costly new car一one thing that he normally would not buy.Then he started spending money on unnecessary things.It seemed that he had"money to burn".

1admit I do feel sorry for my friend.He had enough money to"live like a king".Instead,he was back to"living on a shoestring"一a very low budget.Some might say he was wise about small things,but not about important things.
