My parents give me an allowance every week．An allowance is the money I earn（赚的）when I do chores or jobs around the house．There are a loft of things I want to buy with my allowance，but I have to earn it first!There are many ways to earn money．I do chores，make my bed and empty the dishwasher．I also help my parents whenever they ask．
My parents let me choose how to spend my allowance，but they say I shouldn't use it up at once．That's why they taught me about budgets（预算）．A budget helps people buy things now and also save for things in the future．My mom says there are three ways to use my allowance．I can spend it．save it．or give it away．I want to do all three，so my mom and I make three jars．One is a"spend"jar，one is a"save"jar，and one is a"give"jar．
Spend Jar
The spend jar is my favorite!I put most of my allowance here．At the end of the month，I count up all my spending money．I use it to buy things with my friends．
Save Jar
Sometimes，there are things I want，but I don't have enough money．That's what the save jar is for．I put some of my allowance in it．It builds up more and more each week．After a while．I have enough money to buy what I want．
Give Jar
The last jar is very special．It's the give jar．I donate （捐赠） the money to charity （慈善） or another good cause My dad says that donating money helps other people and makes our world a better place．
I like putting my allowance into my three jars．It's fun to see it build up over time!Do you earn an allowance？
