精打細算

你想存錢嗎?你可以制定一個預(yù)算案來存錢。了解一個月花多少錢是很重要的。一些開支每個月都相同，例如：租金、汽車貸款和汽車保險。但是一些開支個個月都在變化。例如。我們這樣說，冬天的時候你用了很多煤氣來給房間供暖。那么你的煤氣賬單將會很高。夏天的時候，你不用給房間供暖。那么你的煤氣賬單就很低。你家里每個月用在煤氣上的費用就不同了。

It's important to save money for emergencies.Let's say you and your husband or wife work.Your husband or wife has an accident and can't work for two months.What can you do?How can you pay your bills?You can save money every month for emergencies.It's important to include money for emergencies in your budget.
