W: Harry, are you good at saving money?

M: I think I used to be good at saving money.

W: When did that stop and why did it stop?

M: I don’t know. As you get older there’s just so much stuff you feel you need to spend money on. Money just keeps going out of your wallet for reasons you don’t even know.

W: I think I’m pretty good at saving money actually.

M: You are?

W: Yes, I am. Why do you seem so surprised?

M: How much of your allowance(零花钱) would you save?

W: I think I save ten percent of my allowance.

M: That’s really amazing. I don’t think I can save any money. I have to spend every cent I have, I don’t know why.

W: Saving is a culture. You get adapted to it, you know and that’s what my mom taught me. I think I just grew with it that you need to save money and once you start doing it, it becomes easier. It becomes like an obligation(责任).

M: I think you need to teach me some sometime because I’m hopeless.

W: I’ll give you a few tips.
