Money makes the world go around, yet the best things in life are free. A penny saved is a penny earned, but you get what you pay for. You probably have your own ideas about spending money. Now it is a great time to learn how to spend money wisely.
When you are considering buying something you want, run through this checklist first.
1.
Seeing a $25(172 yuan) gum ball machine, Peter wanted it at first. But after thinking about it, he decided that it would be exciting only for a day or two.“Besides, it's impossible for me to chew much gum,” he said wisely.
2.
If the thing passes the “really-wanting-it” test, try to wait for some time(maybe some days or a week) to see how strong the desire is. Perhaps at that time, you don't want it any longer. This strategy works for grown-ups, too!
3.
After the first two steps, Peter found he really wanted a toy ship, but it cost $50.He had $22 in his pocket and got $1.50 a week to spend. His mother helped him work out how many weeks he would need to save enough money to get the ship.
4.
Peter had a lot of things to do to help his family. He could water the flowers, do the dishes or walk the dog. Finally, he decided to wash the downstairs windows at a dollar each. He got $10 for himself, and sparkling(闪亮的) sunlight for the rest of the family.
5.
After deciding to buy it, it is necessary for you to look for cheaper ways to buy it: search for what you want on the Internet or in shops and flea markets. Sometimes you can find the same thing at a much lower price.

I got angry and shouted, “What are you doing? This is not what you are 2 to do! You should do in this way.” But she was so excited and she 3 did what she liked—the girl had so much 4 “painting” in her own way.
Soon, the paint was everywhere and the room became very dirty.
I just sat there, thinking disappointedly, “Oh, my God! This girl is 5 .” Soon after, however, she shouted, “Mom, when I mix pink and blue, it 6 purple!” I was surprised. While I was thinking that she was just 7 the paint and the paper, she actually got something new! I laughed and thought she made that just by 8 .
