三、阅读理解
One day, you'll need to learn how to save money—even if you don't have anything to save for right now. Learn to save and budget now! Then you'll have money when you do want something expensive, and make better plans for your future.
★Be clear about how much pocket money you have. Do you get your pocket money weekly or monthly? Do you get any other money? Add up (合计) the amount (金额) of your money for the period you want to budget for.
★Learn the difference between needs and wants. You need money for transportation (交通); you want to have money left over for snacks and games. Then decide which of your "wants" should come first and which ones you can let go.
★Make a budget! Once you know how much pocket money you will have in a period of time, you can decide how to spend it. Keep the money for your needs and don't touch it for anything else. Then add up how much your wants will cost. See if you can make your needs and wants add up to 90% or less of all your money.
★Put your savings—the 10% or more that you don't spend each month—far away. Put them in a bank or somewhere that you can't get at easily.
★Write your expenses (花费) down, at least until you can get used to what they are. This way you'll know where your money is going—and what you need to do is to hold on to it longer.
★Put a little bit away every day. Even if it's just change, get used to having something left over. You'll be surprised at how much change adds up over months.
