It's My Life . Money . You Said It

Here's what other kids had to say:

Uh, Savannah,9 money isn't everything. I don't mean to bully at all, but there are better things than money. Like... Jesus Christ! And the more money you have, the more you probably want. PLEASE don't take this the wrong way! Okay, now i'm just sounding stupid...

I don't really know. See, the only thing I'm allowed to buy is ice-cream and my mom gives me money for that. I use my Yuans for bus fare though. I think I'm saving up.
--Isabella T, 10

--Savannah, 9

I always save money.First I think is it useful in the future? Then I think will I use it every day?
--rosie, 8

I try to spend as less as possible. Even during lunch, in the ala Carte line, I buy one thing and usey water botle as my drink.

--KP, 12

I REALLY consider myself a "smart spender" I got a part time job scorekeeping baseball and basketball through a recreation dept. I have made quite a bit of money! I only spend it on things I absolutely need or things i will use more than once!

When i go shopping i am always aware of where i go and what i want sometimes i get distracted by stuff that i think is cute or that i want but you must always think "will this be useful in the future or do i just want it real bad i really think i am a smart spender i have an allowance $3 a day $21 in a week i go to expensive stores then i go to sheeper stores and they have exactly the same clothes sheeper and thats how i save money. see you bye

I do consider myself a "Smart" shopper.......sometimes.Well,when ever I go to the store,I usally spend 10 bucks,and when I'm walking to the cheakout counter,u know how u pass by something that catches ur eye,well that always happens to me and I end up buying it too
--WinterRose⒕, 12

Only buy something if you KNOW it can be used again in the future, and that you will always like it. There are too many people who go on I-want-this I-want-that Happy-go-lucky shopping sprees, and they just throw it all over their shoulder. When I get something, I treasure it LOL but really - and i get 20c for every chore I do so if I clean the whole house it adds up to about $15 XD And at the end of the month I go spent things at Five BELoW sometimes - oh and the Skinny Dip frozen yogurt bar OMG YUMMM my fave place XD
--Emily, 10

Yes, i think i'm a smart spender, especially recently because my family is now looking for a farm to move to. My parents told my sister and I, if we paid for the horses we could get some. My piggy bank (it really is a pig!) has about $100 right now. I actually enjoy watching it build up.
--Belle, 13

Until lately, I havent saved money much. I just spent is on whatever I wanted. But starting a few months ago I started saving money and earned enough to buy a used guitar. I now have 70 dollars and I dont really know what I am going to buy. Oh well.
--Melissa, 12

I do and don't.I currently have 70 bucks and that came from hard work in the kitchen (5 a week),a donated 20 from my dad to pay me back a 20 he barrowed in 2008,and some money I didn't spend on souvanires from my vacation.Well hard work pays off really.I don't spend much cuz: 1. We only go to a mall or outlet when we have a car (ours is taking FOREVER TO FIX),and a special ocasion. 2.My mom boycotts anything that is in the makeup aisle exept bonne bell smackers. 3.I don't really wanna spend it.and 4.W/ out a car our shopping limits are varied (not to mention having 2 pay bills).BUT i will waste my money on nothing.-- shia labeouf's girlfriend

--katie, 13
