- The pocket money received: the whole amount to plan before spending
- Needs jar: the biggest share, for essentials like lunch or bus fare
- Wants jar: a smaller share for fun things like a new football
- Savings jar: money put aside for later goals or emergencies
Examples
- With 20 of pocket money, you might put 10 toward school lunches, 4 toward a game, and 6 into savings.
- Saving a little each week for a month so you can buy new headphones without borrowing.
Key takeaways
- Make the plan before you spend, not after the money is gone.
- Needs come first, but always set something aside for savings.
