MONEY VOCABULARY
1. As we approach New Year, many people may be looking for ways to save money and improve their financial
situation. Some people may think that the solution is to earn a lot of money, but this is not always easy or possible
for everyone. Instead, it’s important to focus on managing your expenses and finding ways to save some money.
2. One of the main reasons why people struggle to save money is because they spend too much. It can be easy to
buy things that you don’t really need, especially with online shopping and credit cards. To solve this problem, you
can create a budget to help you control your expenses. You can make a list of things you need to spend money
on and try to cut back on things that are not essential.
3. Another way to save money is to lend money to others. This may seem strange, but it can actually be a good way
to earn extra money. If you lend money to a friend or family member and charge them interest, you can make
some extra cash and help someone in need.
4. However, borrowing money is something you should be careful about. It can be tempting to borrow money to
pay for things you want, but it can also lead to debt that is hard to get out of. If you need to borrow money, it’s
important to understand the terms of the loan and have the plan to pay it back.
5. In conclusion, the key to saving money is to be aware of your spending habits and find ways to reduce your
expenses. This may mean making some sacrifices in the short term, but it will be worth it in the long run. By
managing your money wisely, you can build a better financial future for yourself and your family.
