As a sixth grader, consider ways you can earn and save money NOW for things you want in the future. HOW WILL YOU PAY FOR IT?
Think about...
Let’s earn some cash for the stuff you want!
Short-term purchase:
If you make $20 a week mowing your neighbor’s lawn and want to buy $160 sneakers, how many weeks will it take you to earn that money? 160
= _______ weeks or _______ months 20
That won’t take so long, right? A little bit of patience can pay off!
Long-term purchase: You want to buy a $3,000 used car when you turn 16. If you make $40 a month babysitting, will you have enough?
$40 per month
= $ _______ x 4 years (That’s when you’ll turn 16!) = $ _______ x 12 months
You may need to babysit more to earn money for the car!
