閱讀下面的小故事，看看你的“財務(wù)狀況”是哪一種吧~

When I went to university, I had to get a student loan（貸款） to pay my fees. That meant I had to be careful and make sure I didn't waste money（浪費(fèi)錢）, but by the time I finished my degree I owed（欠錢） a lot. One good thing is that I don't have to pay it back until I get a job and I'm earning（掙錢） a reasonable amount of money. At the moment I'm saving（存錢） up for a new laptop; the one I have is very slow and keeps going wrong. I'd love to have a car as well, but I can't afford（付錢） it.
