Многие люди высоко ценят деньги, они для них главная цель.
Деньги часто создают трудности, особенно для тех, кому приходится придерживаться скудного бюджета.
Сегодня многие стремятся заработать дополнительные деньги, чтобы жить не хуже, чем другие.
Я не умею тратить деньги мудро, каждый раз, когда я хожу по магазинам, я заканчиваю тем, что покупаю ненужные вещи.
Женщины с маленькими детьми обычно предпочитают работать неполный день, часто их жизнь сконцентрирована вокруг мужа и детей.
В детстве мои родители не снабжали меня карманными деньгами, они игнорировали мое желание иметь свои собственные деньги.
Молодые люди часто имеют мало шансов для трудоустройства. Работодатели хотят найти людей с опытом работы.
Джейсон не мог купить новый с иголочки автомобиль. Он недоступен по цене для него. Он купил подержанную машину. Но все равно, страховка, бензин и техобслуживание обойдутся ему недешево.
Я транжира (a spendthrift) и я не могу никак оправдать свое поведение. Как только я захожу в супермаркет или универмаг, деньги утекают сквозь пальцы как вода.
