    School-going children need pocket money for food, stationery and bus fares. Parents give pocket money to their children in different ways. Some give a lump sum at the beginning of a month or a week.【T1】______The way in which pocket money is given affects how money is spent or saved. On the other hand, the children’s spending habits may affect how pocket money is given.

This results in children being short-sighted in their spending.【T4】______They may develop the mentality that money is meant to be spent. Others spend more than they are given.
