Saving Saving means setting aside a certain amount of money each time you get paid. Say you got $5.00 a week and saved $3.00 of it each week. After a month you’d have $12.00, after two months you’d have $24.00, and after six months you’d have $72.00.
Income You’re old enough now to have some of your own money. The money you get is also called income, and you’re probably getting it in these ways: Earning it through a job or work outside your home, like a paper route or babysitting. From gifts, like a birthday check from Grandma. You’ve probably gotten a check or cash for your birthday, holidays, or other special occasions from relatives or friends. From allowance given to you by your parents.
Needs Needs are things that we truly can’t be without, such as: Nutritious food A place to live A warm winter coat A good pair of shoes Transportation
