250-275 (I don't know if you could still accept, but I'm sorry for the delay.)


This section was very interesting to read. Hessler was very descriptive when he discussed the importance of money and the significance. I noticed that in this section when Hessler talks about people in Fuling discussing money, I enjoyed on how they discuss it compared to how we discuss it. In Fuling, it feels like you could do a lot with what people like Hessler make in their salary. Growing up with parents that worked hard, I felt that money in my household was something you worked for. The culture I live in has many different views and perspectives on money. The attitude towards money varies. Some are very wise while others are very greedy. In other words, when it comes to receiving, some will put away and invest. Meanwhile, others will spend what they’ve made, not even realizing what they could’ve done by putting away. I feel that the attitude towards money should be held in a positive way. My view on money is how you use and handle it. When I get money, I don’t try to go out and spend everything at once. Instead, I decide to put it away and save, in hope of getting something worth more value. Growing up, my parents taught me that it’s always to put away at least 10% of what you make. Over time, that 10% will grow, making it worth more. I feel that the motive for Fuling is to make money without reason. As for people in the U.S., that view is quite the opposite.
