Speaking exercise

Describe an interesting discussion you had about how you spend your money

I talked to my mother about how to spend my own money. Because my mother always thinks I can’t control my money very well. And she thinks as an adult I should control my money very well. I often spend my money on buying something I need in daily life, like clothes, making ups, and bags. So I worked for one year, I didn’t save any. She thinks that is not right, so I decided to do more changing. I am learning how to invest my money so I put the half money in the stocks. And I am going to try my best not to buy something I don’t need. I think saving money and how to invest is very important in people’s life. Because it will influence more important things and it will decide whether you are rich in the future.
