It’s useful to know how much money we usually spend on different things.Then,if we also know how much money we will have,we can decide which things we should buy now and which things we can go without or wait for.
Here’s a student’s weekly budget (预算) during the school year.
Bus tickets $ 5 Movies $ 6
Candy / Gum $ 5 Soft drinks $ 3
School lunches $10 CDs $10
Restaurants $15 Computer games $10
Total:$ 64
This student has only $50 a week to spend.So he must spend less on some things or not have them at all.If he wants to save on bus tickets,he can walk to class.If he doesn’t buy any candy,he can save $5 a week.Or,he can save $3 if he has no soft drinks.He can save on lunches if he brings his own.
He may be able to save on CDs by borrowing them from his friends or buying them second-hand.He doesn’t have to go to the movies or restaurants.
Different people need or want different things,so their budgets are different.Girls may not like computer games.They may want to spend more money on clothes or jewelry (珠宝).
For most of us,a weekly budget is only a little helpful.We really need to have a monthly budget,or even a yearly budget.This is because we have to pay for some things only once a month or once a year.Clothes,textbooks,vacations,and so on are not weekly expenses (开支).They are monthly or yearly expenses.
