Last month we told you how readers spent their pocket money. We had lots of letters about this, and here are just three of them.
Dear magazine!,
I think your readers got too much pocket money! My mum is a teacher and my dad lost his job last
month and I’ve got a sister – she’s 16 - and two brothers, 11 and 9 and so we don’t get much pocket
money. But we do jobs at home, and Mum and Dad pay us. We get £1 for cleaning the kitchen or
bathroom, £ 2 for washing Mum’s car, and £3 for cleaning the windows – and it’s fun !
Sometimes I go shopping for our neighbour - she’s very old - and she gives me £ 1, or I babysit for my aunt and she gives me £7 for an evening.
I usually save all my money but sometimes I buy sweets - not for me but for my younger brothers.
Sandra, 14
P.S. I don’t buy your magazine! – my friend buys it, reads it and then she gives it to me.

Dear magazine!,
Where do your readers live? Do they all live in big cities like London or Bristol? I want to know
because they can all buy great things with their pocket money. Oh, my brother and I get pocket
money too, but we live in a very small village in Wales. There’s one shop where you can buy
sweets and newspapers or rent a video or a DVD, but that’s all. When we’re not at school we do
our homework, watch TV or ride our bikes – that’s all!
Lea, 16
P.S. My brother and I are saving our pocket money for a car(when we’re old enough), then we
can get out of here !

Dear magazine!,
Thank you for the interesting article on pocket money. I want to visit my cousin in New York
next year, so I want to save as much pocket money as I can. I’ve got some great ideas about
how to save money – maybe other readers want to try them:
At break, don’t buy sandwiches at school. My sister and I buy bread and things at the
supermarket and make our sandwiches at home ‐ they’re much nicer and cheaper, too!
We all like new clothes, but they’re expensive in the shops, so have a „clothes swap“ with your
friends. That’s not only cheaper ‐ it’s funnier, too.

Dear magazine,
My name is Anna and I am 14 years old. I get 5 Euro pocket money. With this money I buy tickets for the cinema, sweets and music CDs. Sometimes I take a walk with our neighbour’s dog and he gives me some additional money. I am trying to save some money, because I have a big wish. I am dreaming of visiting my best friend in London. He moved there one year ago and we miss each other very much. I need another 100 Euro for the ticket so I save as much as possible. Maybe next year I will be able to visit him.
