It’s always a happy moment when you get some pocket money (零花钱). But have you ever thought about how to spend your pocket money wisely Here is some advice.
Make a list.
When you get your pocket money, don’t get too excited. We all have a lot of things that we want. But do you really need them That’s why it is necessary to make a list before you spend money. Start with the thing you want most. You can also write down how much it costs or how important it is in your life. By doing this, you will see if it is really necessary to buy it.
Help others.
How about being more selfless (无私的) and using your pocket money to help others We all know that there are many people in the world who are in need of our help. Helping others brings out the best in us and is one of the greatest joys in our lives. So consider using your pocket money to do something useful and helpful, and feel how you can make a difference.
Save (储蓄) as much as you can.
There is an old saying that “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” If you spend all your pocket money right away, you’ll have no money until your next “pay day”. A wallet sometimes might not be the best place to save money because it may make it easier for you to spend your money. Get a piggy bank (储蓄罐) or ask your parents to start a savings account (账户) for you. Someday when you look back, you’ll get a strong feeling of achievement by saving so much money by yourself!

Hello! My name is Li Ming. Here is my invention, a Language Interpreter. It's the same size as a cellphone. But it is very useful. If you input the language you want to translate into, and then make a short speech, it can translate what you want within 5 to 10 seconds. You can talk with foreigners easily with the help of it. But it can only translate several languages. I'll work hard to improve it. I'm sure it will translate more and more languages in the near future. Thanks for listening!
