Unit 651. I was terrible at saving money.

I really had to learn how to budget money because I used to be terrible at saving.

English On The Go

I actually used to be terrible when it came to saving money.

I would just spend money all the time because I thought,

“Well, it doesn't matter, because I'm going to get paid next week and I'll just make the money back.”

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

So anytime I got paid, I'd go shopping.

And because I was living at home, I didn't have to pay rent or anything.

I would just buy whatever I wanted. I'd eat all the food I wanted.

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

And it was really fun until I moved out of home and I started having to pay rent.

And then I just had to learn how to budget my money.

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

And that was a really stressful experience because at the same time, I had to pay rent now,  

but I still tried to live this lifestyle where I was buying all the clothes I wanted and eating all the food I was eating.

And it wasn't until I actually had to go shopping one day and I didn't have any money to buy food and clothes.

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

I had to pick one or the other.

And I bought clothes, and then I didn't have money for food.

That's when I realized that I was in trouble, so I've learnt to budget since then.

저는 돈을 아끼는 걸 못했기 때문에 예산 짜는 방법을 정말로 배워야 했어요.

English On The Go

I actually used to be terrible when it came to saving money.

저는 사실 돈을 아끼는 데에 있어서는 정말 형편없었어요.

 I actually used to be terrible when it came to saving money. = I actually used to be terrible at saving money.

 

I would just spend money all the time because I thought,

저는 항상 그냥 돈을 쓰곤 했는데, 이렇게 생각했기 때문이에요.

 would : 과거의 반복적 행동

 

“Well, it doesn't matter, because I'm going to get paid next week and I'll just make the money back.”

“상관없지, 뭐. 다음주에 급여를 받을 거고 그 돈을 또 벌 거니까.”

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

So anytime I got paid, I'd go shopping.

그래서 돈을 받을 때마다 저는 쇼핑을 하러 가곤 했어요.

 anytime = every time, each time

 I'd = I would

 

And because I was living at home, I didn't have to pay rent or anything.

그리고 저는 부모님 집에 살고 있었기 때문에 월세를 내거나 할 필요가 없었어요.

 at home = in my parents' house

rent 집세, 방세, 임대료 ( 공과금 등..)

 

I would just buy whatever I wanted. I'd eat all the food I wanted.

그냥 제가 원하는 건 뭐든지 사고, 먹고 싶은 모든 음식을 먹었어요.

I'd = I would

 

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

And it was really fun until I moved out of home and I started having to pay rent.

그리고 그건 정말 재미있었는데, 독립해서 월세를 내야 하기 시작했을 때 상황이 달라졌어요.

 until 상황이 반전 됨, 역전 됨

 home 부모님 집

 

And then I just had to learn how to budget my money.

그리고 그때 저는 돈을 어떻게 예산을 짜서 쓸지를 배워야 했어요.

 

budget 예산, 예산을 세우다

ex)

We are working on a very tight budget.

예산이 아주 빠듯해요.  ( on 과 with 두 가지로 쓸 수 있음, on 에는 두 가지 뜻 )

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

And that was a really stressful experience because at the same time, I had to pay rent now,

그리고 그건 정말 스트레스를 받는 경험이었는데, 왜냐하면 동시에 저는 이제 월세도 내야 했거든요.

 

but I still tried to live this lifestyle where I was buying all the clothes I wanted and eating all the food I was eating.

그런데 저는 여전히 제가 원하는 옷도 다 사고 먹고 싶은 음식도 다 먹는 생활을 하려고 노력했어요.

 

And it wasn't until I actually had to go shopping one day and I didn't have any money to buy food and clothes.

그리고 어느 날 쇼핑을 하러 갔는데 음식도 사고 옷도 살 돈이 없는 거예요.

 it wasn't until ~하기 전까지는 아니었다. 그 때가 되어서야 깨달았다.

 I didn't have any money : I didn't have enough money 뜻으로 말함

 

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

I had to pick one or the other.

저는 둘 중 하나를 골라야 했어요.

 

And I bought clothes, and then I didn't have money for food.

그리고 저는 옷을 샀는데, 그랬더니 음식 살 돈이 없었어요.

 

That's when I realized that I was in trouble, so I've learnt to budget since then.

저는 그때 문제가 생겼다는 걸 깨닫고, 그 이후로 예산을 짜는 법을 배웠어요.
