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.
