Money makes the world go around, yet the best thing in life is free. A penny saved is a penny earned(赚), but you get what you pay for. You probably have your own ideas about spending money. Now is a great time to learn how to spend money wisely.

When you are considering buying something you want, run through this checklist first.

* How much do you really want it?

Seeing a $25(172 yuan) gum ball(口香糖球) machine, Ben wanted it. But after thinking about it, he felt it would interest him only for a day or two. “Besides, it’s not possible for me to chew(咀嚼) that much gum,” he said wisely.

* 71______

If the thing passes the “really-wanting-it” test, try to wait for some time to see how strong the desire(欲望) is. This strategy works for grown-ups, too!

* 72____

After the first two steps, Ben found he really wanted a toy pirate ship(海盗船), but it cost $50. He had $22 in his pocket and gets $1.50 a week to spend. His mother helped him work out how many weeks he would need to save to get the ship: 19.

* 73____________

Ben agreed to wash the downstairs windows at a dollar each. So he got $10—and sparkling(闪亮的) sunlight for the rest of the family.

* 74____________

After deciding to buy it, it is necessary for you to look for less expensive ways to buy it: search for what you want on the Internet or in shops and flea markets(跳蚤市场). Sometimes you can find the same thing at a much lower price.

If these suggestions work well, they can save you a lot of money. You will be a really smart shopper.
