Do you have your own ideas about spending money? If no, now it's a great time to learn how to spend it. Follow the steps below when you are considering, buying something you want.
Step 1 How much do you really want it?
Seeing a $25 gum ball (口香糖球) machine, Ben wanted it at first. But after thinking about it, he decided it would be exciting only for a day or two. "... Besides, it's impossible for me to chew (嚼) much gum." he thought for a long time and then went away.[
Step 2
Do you still want it a week later?
If you really want the thing very much, try to wait for some time to see how strong the desire (欲望) is. This way works for grown-ups, too!
Step 3 How will you pay for it?
After the first two steps, Ben found he really wanted a toy p
irate ship, but it cost $50. He had $22 in his pocket and got $1.50 a week from his parents. It would take Ben 19 weeks to save enough money to get the ship.
Step 4 Are there ways to make the money?
Ben agreed to wash the downstairs windows at $2 each. So he got $10 for himself.
Step 5 Can you get it cheaper?
After deciding to buy it, it's necessary for you to look for less expensive ways to buy it: search for what you want on the Internet, in shops and flea (跳蚤) markets. Sometimes you can find the same thing at much lower price.
If these suggestions work well, they can save you a lot of money. You will be a real smart shopper.

Mary had some troubles, so she went to see the doctor. He was a new doctor, and did not know her. So he first asked her some questions. One of the questions was, “What is your age?”
“Well...” Mary answered, “I don't quite remember, doctor, but I will try to think.” She thought for a while and then said, “Yes, I remember now, doctor. When I married, I was twenty-two years old, and my husband was thirty then. Now he is sixty, I know, and that is twice thirty. And so I am twice twenty-two. That is forty-four, isn't it?”
