Pocket money means that you have money in your pocket(口袋)that you can spend. You may get a regular amount of money from your parents or grandparents , for example , every week or once a month.
How much pocket money should you get ? That depends on what your parents or grandparents can afford, how many kids there are in your family and how old you are . A little primary school kid may get one yuan , but older children would get more . Each family is different.

★use the money to buy things that they want .
★learn to find out how much things cost .
★learn to look after money well .
★learn to shop around for the best price
★ learn to save their pocket money for the future.
