For many
36 in the US, earning some money gives them a sense of 37 . By making their own money they can buy whatever they want . It also develops a sense of responsibility and independence .
Most teens I know have a small sum of money . Their
38 give them an allowance (零用錢). For some ,an allowance is given every week ; for
39 , every month or so . Usually they can get 10 to 30 dollars a month from their parents . An allowance is typically based on the
40 of chores (家務), such as washing the dishes , cleaning up one’s room, taking out the trash , and
41 the floor .
42 to younger siblings (兄弟姐妹) is also regarded as worthy of extra cash ,
43 some cases .
Many teens also work to get
44 .Since most of my peers (同伴) are not
45 for a formal job , many choose part-time positions . These require relatively
46 time and basically no training . They can have these jobs like babysitting ;
47 younger students , offered by most schools
48 a small fee ;
49 bagging groceries at local supermarkets .
50 spending habits , most teens spend their money in a relatively carefree style . Often , a month’s allowance can be spent in just a few hours . I’m not saying that teens in US are
51 saving money . Indeed , in many situations , teens can be quite level-headed (頭腦冷靜) in
52 money towards college or other
53 plans . The way teens manage their money should not be seen as a
54 . It may just be a defining characteristic of their carefree
55 .
