It's only $79.99! How many times have you heard those words on TV or read them in a newspaper ad? The word "only" is supposed to make you think that this is a great price for the product.
But think about this. How long does it take you to earn $79.99? What do you have to do to get that money? The little thing that's only $79.99 is worth（值）almost 12 hours of your work! And if you are making less than this, how long will it take to earn that much money?
So as you stand in a shop, telling yourself that you have to buy something, think about how long you must work to earn the money to pay 
for it. Is that $85 T-shirt really worth the time to earn $85? You could proba
bly find a similar（相似的）shirt at another shop for under $35, right?
Even if your parents are still buying you clothes, someone has to work for the money. If you spend money on one thing, you don't have money to spend on anything else. So if you spend $85 on those jeans, you cannot put it in the bank, and you cannot go snowboarding or to the movies with friends because you don't have the money to go.

How much pocket money do you get? How do you spend it? The Blue Book of Chinese Teenager Financial(金融的) Study shows that social activities now take up more of teenagers’ spending. The book was about teenagers’ spending habits. It was based on studies in nine cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The results show that students are spending more and more on their relationships with friends and classmates, such as having meals together and buying birthday gifts. Only one-third of high school students think about the price when choosing gifts. Most say they only care about what their friends like.
Xiao Hao, 17, a student at Gaoyou Normal School in Jiangsu, spent more than 1,000 yuan on his birthday meal this February. “They had given me gifts. If I hadn’t done anything in return, I’d have lost face,” Xia said.
Xia’s experience is quite usual among the young students. A meal can cost a student’s pocket money for a month. Many just ask more from parents when they use up their money.
Zhang Wei, an expert on teenagers’ financial study, suggested that teenagers should learn to make a budget. A budget is a plan of how money will be spent. It helps make decisions about money. To make good use of your money, you can also set a limit. Learn to balance your wants and needs. When choosing gifts for friends, let them know that you care. Sometimes a handmade gift is much better than an expensive one.
