School children today are getting more money. Where do they get their money and how do they spend it? Let's see the answers from an American boy.
Jack, in Junior 2 in Garden Middle School, gets 20 dollars from his parents as his pocket money. He can get about 5 dollars every week by delivering(送) news-papers. So he gets 25 dollars in all. He often spends 3 dollars buying snacks and shares them with his good friends. Newspapers and cartoon books cost him 3 dollars every week and he pays 4 dollars for films with his classmates.
