After this short but happy winter vacation, you must have been rich again as all of you have received lucky money from families at home. Properly using it is very important and now it is a great time to learn how to spend your lucky money wisely. When you consider buying something you want, ask yourself these questions:
How much do you really want it? Seeing a $99 gum (口香糖) machine, Ben wanted it. But after thinking about it, he decided that it would be exciting only for a day or two. “Besides, it’s not possible for me to eat so much gum,” he said wisely. Finally, he didn’t buy the gum machine.
Do you still want it a week later? 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 works for grown-ups, too!
How will you pay for it? 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. He gave it up, too.
Can you get it cheaper? 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 flea markets (跳蚤市场). Sometimes you can find the same thing at a much lower price.If these work well, they can save you a lot of money. You will be a really smart shopper.
