If you’re serious about saving your dosh, keeping it in a shoe box isn’t going to cut it. It’s time to start a savings account. This account should be separate from your checking or “spending money” account. Look for a bank that offers a higher interest rate (that’s the money the bank pays you to keep your cash with them) and also make sure they don’t charge you a lot of service fees. In fact, a lot of banks don’t charge kids any service fees at all, so shop around to find the right bank for

Start Saving Your Money Now

The next step is to start putting money in your account. Start with whatever you have, whether it’s five bucks or a thousand, it all helps. The best thing to do is to make a saving plan. Decide how much you’re willing to put aside every month and then do it. If you already have a checking account, most banks will be able to set up an automatic transfer every month - so the cash will come out of your checking account and go into your savings automatically. This is helpful cuz it’s way easier to save money if you never have a chance to spend it in the first place.

Advanced Options: Investing Your Money

If you have a serious goal (paying for college, backpacking through Europe after graduation, etc.) the best idea is to start making your money work for you. The way to do this is to invest your money somewhere where it’s going to make more interest than in your savings account. Here are some options:

• Bonds: When you buy a bond it means you are lending money to someone (for example, your government or a company). With a bond you get a higher rate of interest than with a bank account, but you have to wait longer to get your money back (sometimes 10-15 years).

• Stocks: When you buy stocks you are actually buying a tiny piece of a big company (for example, you can buy stocks in Disney, McDonald’s or Nike). You can often make a lot of interest in the stock market but you also run the risk of losing money too. If the stock goes down, the money you get back from your investment goes down too.

• Mutual Funds: Mutual Funds are like investing on your own, but instead you pool your money with other peeps and invest in a bunch of things (stocks, bonds etc.) with the help of a financial manager. This is a good option cuz you have a professional doing all the hard work, and it is less risky since you don’t have all your investments in one place.

‘Khishijargal the Nomad’ Adjective Exercise

Read the story about desertification. Then read the words below and check your dictionary to understand what they mean. Then fill in the blanks with the appropriate adjective! (Check the answers below.)

The strong wind blew through the mountainside land that Khishigjargal and his large family had placed their ger on. Khishigjargal could feel the small particles of sand and dust in the wind as he slowly began to herd his family’s animals.

Khishigjargal and his family were traditional nomads, moving around Mongolia in search of some green land for their many animals to graze. It was the start of the unpredictable spring, which meant that the family began to leave the place they had been for the long, cold winter in search for better grazing area. But this year it was very difficult. Khishigjargal’s elderly father, who was a very successful herder, led them to where they were going to set up their ger.

When they arrived, however, it was sandier then ever before. They had ridden their overloaded horses a very far distance and now it looked like it was all desert. The family continued to a new spot and set up their cozy ger.

The Mongolian environment was changing, but Khisigjargal did not understand why. Overgrazing meant the precious land was increasingly becoming desert.
