【正文】 1 ? Susan Beacham of Money Savvy Generation, a US pany that teaches money management skills to kids, 2 some advice. My first tip is to make a list, says Beacham. She suggests that kids talk with their families about to 3 they should give gifts and how much they should spend. Take the 4 with you to the store. Make sure that you do the maths, says Beacham. If you39。ve just spent $30 （184 yuan） 5 someone you were going to spend $25 on, you39。re going to have to spend $5 less on somebody else. The 6 to budgeting is staying within the boundaries （范圍） you39。ve set for yourself. What to do if you just can39。t 7 buying things once you39。re in a mall? The answer is pretty easy – bring only a small amount of money with you. 8 you see an expensive item that you really want to buy, wait a few days and see if you39。re still 9 it. Chances are, you won39。t even remember it. Do you have enough money? If not, make 10 . And don39。t forget – not everyone needs a storebought gift. Some of the best presents are free.1.
