B: Run out of[2] money again? How much money do your parents give you each month, if I may ask?

A: 300 yuan.
B: 300 yuan? That's 100 yuan more than what I get from my parents. How can you get into financial7 problems[4] so quickly?
A: I don't know. I haven't bought anything particularly expensive. I thought8 it was9 because my parents gave10 me too little.
B: Of course11 not. You see, with 200 yuan I do just fine[5]. The trick12 is to[6] make a good plan13 first. Buy things only when they are in your plan.
A: Ok, that sounds reasonable14. From now on[7], I'll try to learn from you.

慎重花钱

A: 西蒙，能借我二十块钱吗？我在下月初还你。
B: 钱又用完了？你父母每月给你多少钱，如果你不介意我问的话？
A: 三百块钱。
B: 三百块？比我从我爸妈那儿拿的多一百呢。你怎么这么快就陷入了财政问题啊？
A: 我也不知道是怎么回事。我没有买什么特别贵的东西啊。我还想是我爸妈给我的太少了呢。
B: 当然不是。你看，用两百块钱，我也过得不错。诀窍是首先要有一个好的计划。只买你计划中要买的东西。
A: 好，这听起来挺有道理的。从今以后，我努力向你学习.
