　　Most likely, you aren’t the family breadwinner, but doing a small job or getting a weekly allowance would put some money in your pocket．For kids and grown-ups alike money is easy to spend, if you aren’t careful．It can be gone in no time．Being responsible with your money is an important skill to learn－and the sooner you start the better．Whether you spending or saving for something special, creating a budget can help you deal with expenses and plan for the future．All you need are paper and a pencil－and some self-control．

　　First, take a look at our sample monthly budget．Then, use a separate sheet of paper to plan your own．In the first two columns, list your sources(来源)of income and how much you expect to earn from them．In the third and fourth columns, list what you expect to spend your money on and the amount．

　　________ If it is, you have an effective budget．

　　Budgets are not complex, but sticking to them can be tough．When planning your budget, be realistic about your expenses．If you know that you drop 18 at a movie, don’t write 12 in that space simply because you wish you were spending less．

　　If you are eyeing a big purchase, such as an expensive car, spend less and save more until you have the total amount．No matter how attractive it may be, avoid spending your saving．One day, you will thank yourself!
