  Mario:
  I try to save most of my money until I get a lot, so I can than buy more stuff, but sometime it's hard because I want a lot of things.  My dad sometimes helps me but he tells me, "What do I give you an allowance for if you are not going to use?"  So he makes me use my money.  

  Jeremy:  My mom helps me a lot.  She tells me that she will get the clothes and sneakers. She tells me to use my allowance for my other fun things.  So when I get my allowance I buy some school supplies and try to save the rest.  Sometimes I use my money to buy things for my family members on special occasions.  Like flowers for my mom on Mother's Day or for her birthday.  A birthday present for my sister.  If I do not have to buy anything I just tell my mom to save it for me until I need it for something.  

  Kyle:  I save most of my money because I do not like to spend my money.  My mother buys my clothes and other things so I get to keep my own money.  I know that some day it will come to an end and all the good times will stop.

  Gerardo:  I like to have fun.  I like to go out with my friends to the movies, to the arcades and buy music CDs, so my mom give me the money for all my fun things and she saves the money that I do not spend.  I always save more in the winter season because we do not go out as much as we do in the summer.  As soon as the summer gets here I can have a lot of fun, even to go to amusement parks.  




Secondly you will see the way the girls spent their money; you will see a chart followed by a graph.

Stephanie S.:  When my parents give me my allowance I try not spend it all but you know us girls have to have our hair done and our nails done and that means that I have to use my allowance.  What ever is left I give back to my mom to save for me.  

Shanell:  I like good clothes so as soon as I get my allowance I go straight to the stores
