What do you do with your money? Let’s see how Cindy and Li Yu manage their money.
Cindy, aged 16, Australia
In the past, I spent most of my money on clothes, snacks and phones. I ran out of money very quickly and couldn’t buy anything else.
I’m always interested in China. My parents have agreed to take me to China this summer, but I’ll have to pay for my own air tickets. How exciting! So I’m starting to save money. I also work at a supermarket. Every Tuesday and Thursday after school, I work as a cashier (收银员) for two hours.
I’ll work harder and make more money. I can make my dream come true!
Li Yu, aged 15, China
Usually, I do some housework to make pocket money. My parents tell me to manage my money well.
I spend some of my money on books, snacks and school things. I save the rest in the bank for special things. This year, I want to buy my mother a silk scarf for her 40th birthday. Luckily, I have enough money for it.
