1. Nowdays I spend most of all money on my hobby - programming. I buy devices, online courses and various improvements for my project that help me develop and save time.
2. I compare prices in different stores, because often prices can be very different and sometimes you can get free shipping - for just overpaying a few euros.
3. It is important for me to save money, because as Henry Ford said, "The money saved is the money earned." I definitely appreciate the importance of the purchase and can easily refuse if it is not very important to me. I am always looking for a way to optimize my budget and spend money on things that will increase my comfort or productivity.
4. I think that with more money, people's needs increase. People always want something better and more. I also believe that you do not need to stop there - you always need to go forward.
5. In my opinion, this phrase means that money is not given just like that, but it is earned with great difficulty. Any money earned is the result of human hard work and therefore you need to be able to appreciate it.

1. I spend most of my money on food because we eat every day and we need to take something in our body. I used to spend money on clothing and jewelry too, because I think the girls deserve to affrord it for themselves something beautiful and enjoyable.
2. As I go into the shop, I see a beautiful sweater with a price lower than the price of the other store, which is twice the price. It all depends on the quility and the manufacturer from where the goods come from, but I will of course take that sweaters with a lower price.
3. Of course there's money, because money doesn't grow in the trees and doesn't fall out of the air. Anyone who makes money from work or investments then saves his money and invests in another field.
4. People are more willing to earn and work abroad for additional income, namely to invest some of their money in the future. They don't count how much money they have or little it doesn't touch them.
5. For example, if someone asks me to buy it or lend me money for special purposes, but on the other hand I don't want to give a man, but it's so you can't promise what he wants, so many say that money doesn't grow in trees.

1. I spend my money on rare occasions, for example when I want to buy new clothes or devices like headphones, controller etc.
2. In the past I was looking for stores with lowest prices and now I found my favourite and least expensive ones so I don't have to compare stores no more.
3. In my consider there always have to be "safety pillow" which can be used in extreme situations. Also if person wants to buy something expensive there is no shame in saving money for that.
4. In my opinion people always want to be better and more wealthy than others, it's our instincts. Also when person earns more money then his greediness for something expensive gets bigger too. So that's why people always want more money.
5. I think that this statement describes people who are wasting money on something unnecessary. I totally agree with this statement because you have to work to earn money and working usually is not easy so you have to be careful and aware of what you're spending your money on.

1. Most of the money I spend on clothes. I love clothes shopping, because I like to dress well and it's fun to go trough shops and search for clothes that fit me well.
2. I don't compare prices when I shop at different stores, because I usually take what I like, expensive or not. If I would compare, it wouldn't be fun anymore.
3. In my opinion it is important to save money, because in the future there is going to times when you have nothing but savings, then you can use savings, but if you don't save money it's going to be hard. At this point I am able to save money, because I don't work yet.
4. I think that people always want more money, because it's like an addiction, but not a bad one - you start to work, you get paid and it just motivates you to make more and more money.
5. I agree with this statement. For the families that don't make much money, it's hard to survive, especially big families, and in these situations parents tend to spend less money and tell7to their children to live more responsible, because money doesn't grow on trees.

1. Most of the money I spend on my hobby - judo. Basically, I spend money on travel to competitions and training camps, because participation in these events also costs money.
2. If I buy an expensive item in a store, I always compare prices to save money, because often one and the same item of the same quality can cost differently.
3. In my opinion, it is very important to save money in order to have it for a rainy day or to realize more expensive plans or dreams. Without spending money on all sorts of unnecessary things, you can save up for something more useful and necessary.
4. In my opinion, the more money a person has, the more his dreams and desires. Therefore, regardless of how much money a person has, he wants to earn more.
5. I think that this phrase suggests that money does not just appear and you need to work hard to get it.

1. I have noticed that lately I spend very little money as there still are some shopping restrictions. So I mostly spend my money on things I order online, such as skincare products.

2. Sometimes I do tend to look through different stores and their prices for a product that I’m interested in buying before making my decision. That way I might find a better deal that would save me some money.

3. At this time of my life saving money is not a priority for me as I have the option to just ask my parents for money. However, money that I receive on my birthday, etc., I try to be smart about and not spend immediately, instead I spend it on things I really need, that way I can avoid asking money to my parents.

4. I think that people always want more money because money is what allows you to live in luxury, the more money you have the more expensive your lifestyle tends to get.

5. I agree with this statement. I think that earning money involves a lot of hard work, you should be grateful for the amount of money you have and earning money is not as easy as picking an apple from a tree.

1. I spend most of my money on self-education and food. I earn and save money for the necessary equipment, for example, a laptop and other things. I paint, which also needs money. I try to use money in such a way that I can earn more from this. My creative works requires money, and then I sell it.

2. I regularly compare prices in different stores because it helps to save money. I recently bought a laptop for work, and when I was choosing it, I compared prices in different stores, thus saving 50 euros. The prices in grocery stores are also different because there are often discounts on different items, so it helps a lot.

3. At the moment, saving money is very important for me. I need to save money for next year to move and study after school. This is a very important step, so I need to save money now. In the future, I will continue to save money, because I may need it at any time. This is great when you have a supply of money to use.

4. I believe that people always want more money, because it will
allow them to live freely - luxury travel, an expensive apartment, food, clothes, and so on. Almost everyone dreams of such a life, so people try to earn as much as possible.

5. I completely agree with this statement, and I believe that its meaning is as follows - nothing in this life can be done without difficulty. Money won’t fall from the sky, won’t grow on a tree, if a person doesn’t try, study and work.

1) I spend most of my money on living, that is, on household items and food, that is, on toothpaste, shaving foam, toothbrush, shampoos and food to get by. Also, part of the money is spent simply for entertainment and for what you just want to buy for yourself, or go to a cafe.
2) I already know the prices in different stores, and I compare them just in my head, if in one store I see something that I need at a discount, then I take it. I take household items in drogas, food is mainly in citro, it is cheaper there
3) It seems to me that saving money is very useful and necessary. Because if you want to buy something expensive for yourself, or you need it, then you need to save money for some time in order to save up and buy, you also need to save money for moving and studying, so you can't go anywhere without it.
4) It seems to me that everyone wants more money, because for some it is a goal, for some it is a need, many do not have enough money to live, someone wants to improve their lives, because money gives more opportunities
5) I understand this in such a way that money must always be received in a difficult way, and without this, you cannot get money easily, you must always try, study and work to have money. They won't grow on a tree

1. Basically, at the moment I spend most of my money on clothes, accessories, cosmetics. I also often spend money on gifts for my family and friends when I go to their birthday party or to other holidays.
2. I have some favourite stores where I can find something for myself. Of course, before I buy any thing, I check and compare the price and quality of the selected product in these stores. Unfortunately, I spend more of my time, but it helps to save some money.
3. It is important for me to save money. Even though sometimes this process can take more time, anyway, for me, it is a very happy moment when I buy something that really matters to me and what I have been striving for a long time. Especially if the thing is bought with own money, which I earned.
4. To my mind, even people who have a lot of money always want more, because money also is kind of addiction. Often a lot of money overshadows a person’s mind, there is a desire to receive more and give less. And of course, all people want to live better than at the moment, I do not think that it is bad.
5. I suppose, that this statement about people who have a great desire to spend money, but do not contribute to money appearance. Also, this statement says that nothing in life is easy, that you need to strive your goal, be hardworking and patient, money will not appear if a person just sits still.

1. Due to public restrictions my money is rarely spent in small amounts. The money I end up spending is usually on beauty products, skincare and for educational purposes.
2. Sometimes I compare product prices in different stores because there is a chance for a cheaper price. Comparing prices is a way I can hope to save extra money for something else.
3. For me saving money is the only option. I would like to take big steps in the future, be independent and try to achieve everything I want and that is only possible if I save my money. Saving money for my needs and wants is a very rewarding step and knowing that I have extra money for something necessary makes me feel safe.
4. I think people often want more money because that provides them with luxury, a higher level in society. With money people can afford a better lifestyle, that’s why the need for it is always a priority.
5. I agree with this statement. The only way a person can earn money is through hard work. Gaining any amount of money that way should always be appreciated by the person receiving it and by the person giving it.

1. I spend most of my money on clothing, hygiene items and food. Enough money goes to the maintenance of my cat. Also every month I spend a rather big amount on manicure and eyelashes.
2. When it comes to expensive purchases, I compare prices. This way I can save some money and buy something else.
3. I think, saving money is smart. If I have some money, I don’t spend it right away. It is important for me to know that I always have a certain amount for emergency needs, so I feel calmer. Also, now I will take a driver's license, which in my opinion is not very cheap, so any amount will not be superfluous.
4. In my opinion, people often want more money, no matter how much they already have, because with the increase in earnings, people also have an increase in their needs. Why would a person who earns a lot save money?
5. I think this expression means that money never comes easily. To earn a lot, you have to work hard. And I totally agree with this statement.

1. I spent most of my money on clothing. I'm spending money shopping in Internet stores right now. Shopping excites me and pleases me. I like to dress differently every day.
2. I don't compare prices when I buy something, but sometimes I find the item on another website cheaper. in my opinion, price comparison takes a lot of time and doesn't need it, so I don't.
3. I think it is important to save money because money will always be useful in life. if there are difficult times in life, money can be very useful. Saving money can save for somebody's darling and expensive stuff.
4. There are a lot of people who will always have too little money. For other people in this world, money is the most important thing, so you need it with more and more. Such people remain money-dependent and not enough of what they already have.
5. I agree with this statement. People to get money works. it's not easy to get money in life. And I totally agree with this statement.

1. I spend most of my money on food because we each have to eat something to feel good. Sometimes I love eating because then I feel good.
2. I'm not really comparing the prices, but if I see tha elsewhere its's cheaper, of course i'm buying because I think it's much more costeffective and better.
3. I think we should save money because we don't know what will happen in the future and maybe that money will be needed. By saving money, we'll be able to buy a gift for one of the loved ones, or to buy something special.
4. There are people whose money will always be too little, and they will need more and more. For some of the people on this world, money is the most important thing, no matter how much they have it.
5. I agree with this statement, because people don't get money from trees, they get money when they work hard or easy.

1. I spend most of my money on new clothes and food, i really like shopping.Of course, I save some of the money in the piggy bank. I also very often spend money on gifts to friends and family.
2.Often in stores I compare the quality and price of the product in order to save money, but there are times when I do not look at the price, but just buy a product, because I really liked it.
3. I think it is important to save money, because money is never superfluous, the saved money can always come in handy.
4. In my opinion people often want more money, because money helps you to realize yourself, and it is thanks to money that you have the opportunity to travel, try delicious food, and not deny yourself anything. I think that money rules our world.
5. It means that money does not fall from the sky and in order to have it, you need to do something.

1. Most of my money (before restrictions) was spent on my hobbies and things that I enjoy doing for example - going out with friends and family. Buying parts for my bike (sometimes they are expensive). Getting clothes and food.
2. I usually compare prices at different stores. Perhaps in the other stores there is cheaper and better looking (insert a product here) than in the first one. And it also helps me save some money I can spend somewhere else.
3. I think it's really important to save money or at least have some if something unexpected happens. You cannot predict what's going to happen in the near future and what expenses you'll have to deal with.
4. I think that there are a lot of reasons why someone would like to have more money. Possibly they want to live in peace and not worry about money ever being not enough. Another thing is that it could be for their children or grandchildren to not live in poverty.
5. I agree with the statement. Money is not easy to get it has to be earned, sometimes through hard work.

1. I spend most of my money on sporting goods that I have been doing since childhood. Money was spent on new equipment, warm-up swimwear, competitions swimwear, googles and bags. All this is not cheap, and if we talk about professional sports, the prices there are even higher.
2. I compare prices only on the internet shops, but not in grocery stores. On the internet I look for things which are cheaper and buy them. About grocery stores, I just go to the one that is on my way and buy what is in it. Why on the internet shops I compare prices but in grocery stores no. It does take much time to browse through internet shops and it is easy to compare prices. In grocery stores prices roughly are the same, and comparing them is not profitable, just a waste of time.
3. I partly agree that it is important to save money but in reasonable limits. You can save a certain amount for something, but not in such a way as to save all your life and deny yourself everything.
4. This is due to human greed, people want more and more money and don't notice what they have. Usually because of this, people lose friends and loved ones, since all they need is money. I do not want to say that there is never enough money but money comes and goes, but friends remain forever.
5. I totally agree with this statement, because I had worked in the summer and I know how hard it is to get money.

1.I spend most of my money on internet clothing, hygiene items, my pet, food, monthly needs for manicure and eyelashes, which is very expensive.
2. In online store i compare prices when i shop, but not for everyday iteams like food or hygiene iteams because it takes a lot of time and promotions can be seen in ads. Comparing prices i can save.
3. I think it is important to save money because when you save your money you can buy much more or accumulate something you cant afford right away.

4. People want even more money than they have because they want travel much more, eat expensive food and stand stand out in front of everyone, but not all people are the same. Nowdays money determines everything.
5. It means that you need earn money by doing some work because money doesnt fall from sky.

1. I spend most of my money on devices like smartphones, headphones etc. But also i sometimes spend a lot on clothes, books for studying, various substriptions (like Netflix or Apple Music).
2. I am comparing prices only if i want to buy something expensive, like new tablet, PC part. But when the story comes to cheap everyday things i dont do it.
3. I regulary save money for some expensive things, because i dont want my parents to pay the full price, for me personally its much better when I pay 50/50 with my parents on something expensive what I cant buy fully myself.
4. I think that its a normal thing that people want to have as much money as they can, because we live in a capitalist system, in which money can give you a huge boost in career. Of course, there are things that are much more valuable than money (like family, love, health), but still they are really important.
5. It means that you cant get money from nowhere and you need to work really gard to get them.
