Well, my parents regularly give me some pocket money. I manage to save some of this money for buying some food and books.. For example if I can't find a book in the library or on the internet, I will definitely try to find it in the bookshop.

Apart from my pocket money I also have my own money-box. I save money for my future education at the University. Well, I also collect money for pizza and other fast food. Three years ago I spent a large amount on the new laptop because my old one had broken down.

Well, what about giving some money to children?

I have my own opinion on this.

I consider, that parents must teach their children to manage expenses competently. If children have their own money they will be more independent, and the ability to save money will improve their mathematics skills..

Sometimes I go shopping to the charity shops, where I can buy some clothes at a low price

I try not to waste money on any kind of nonsense and make purchases deliberately
