Have you ever bought anything only to regret it later? Have you found yourself spending too much on things that don't really offer good value? As junior high school students, we need to know more about how we spend our money correctly.
Understanding the value of money may be the most important. Money doesn't grow on trees. Going to your parents' workplaces, you can know money can be made only through hard work. This may help you think twice before you buy something.
____▲____ School things and healthy food are needs. But too many snacks or expensive shoes may just be wants. For example, when you see a new phone that looks cool but you already have a good one, you should stop your desire(渴望) to get it.
To spend your pocket money more wisely, you had better get a clear goal and watch your money grow. If you wish to own a new bicycle, you can save your pocket money. How? Write down how much money you have in a notebook and watch it grow. After you have enough, you can buy that bicycle you' ve dreamed about! Reaching our goals will greatly make us pleased.
Sometimes you can learn from your mistakes. If you overspend on something, you should find out the reason and learn from it. Maybe you bought too many cards in one go and later found you didn't really need so many.
You can also get advice from parents and teachers on how to manage your money better. They have more experience about that.
So start from now, learn to be a wise spender. This will not only help us manage our money better but also set us on the path to be more responsible(有责任的) in the future.
