How You Use Money
We’ve been talking about the easy way to
use money: spending it. But there
are two other ways you can use money.
You can save it, which
means putting money away for a while in a bank or credit
union where it’s safer than cash in your wallet. Often, you’ll
find that you want something, but don’t have all the money you need to
buy it right away. So if you save a little each time you receive a paycheck or
some extra cash, you can build up enough money to buy what you want.
You’ll save for things that you want to buy soon, say in a few weeks, or
later, like in a year or so. You may want to save money for a pair of jeans you
know will go on sale in a few weeks, or for a larger item, such as a DVD player.
Then
for
really expensive items, like a car, you might save your money for a year or two.
And when it comes to things like technical school or college, you may save for
even
longer
than that.

Sharing money is a way
to help either people in need or organizations that help people in need.
You like it when people share their things with you, and the same goes
for
everybody else. You already know that everybody needs a little help now
and
then, and the proud feeling when you’re able to share what you have. |
