(2023·山西一模改编)You often get pocket money(零用钱) from your parents. How do you spend it? Do you buy anything you like with it? For example, you want to get a mobile phone, a video game, or favourite shoes. But sometimes you find out you don't have enough money. Then it is time for you to start saving money. But how can you make it?

· Tip One: Spend your pocket money wisely.
A lot of children have pocket money. However, they're not wise enough to spend their pocket money on the things they really need. Most children don't spend their money on school things. Some of them even pay much money for a smartphone to play games on it.
· Tip Two: Find your own way to save.

· Tip Three: Fight the thoughts to spend.
√ If you want something, you should make sure whether it is necessary for you first.
√ Wait a week. Then you may not want to buy it.
√ Make a shopping budget(预算) and stick to it strictly.
√ Put your energy into meaningful things, like reading books.
· Tip Four: Make money (by selling things).
You can make money by selling the clothes, toys, and other things you don't need. This is a good way of making money. At the same time, these things can be reused.
Anyway, saving money is not that easy. But it can help you understand making money is even harder. After all, “No pains, no gains.”
