1. Read the texts. Match the statements to the texts.
There is one extra statement.

1. I think people should manage their money wisely.

2. I’m constantly spending money.

3. I prefer to spend money on others rather than on myself.

4. I prefer to spend money on enjoying myself.

5. I’m careful with my money, so I can afford a treat occasionally.

6. I often buy things without thinking it through first.

7. I prefer to have the best, no matter what the cost.

A. When I saw this sports watch, I just had to buy it! I don’t go shopping very often, but when I do, I usually buy various things such as clothes, items for home and something unusual. I must say I hardly ever shop around for the best quality or price. I am an impulsive shopper. Very often I have no intention to buy anything, but if I like a thing, I buy it whether or not I need it!

B. I only buy things when I have to, but it doesn’t mean I don’t spend much. I often spend money on travelling or going out. Going out to dinner or to the theatre can be rather expensive, but I believe it is worth it. Some people will say it is a shame to spend too much on entertainment as you have nothing to show for the money spent afterwards, but I don’t really care about “things” – it’s better to have good memories!

C. I’m always looking for the perfect present or gift. I start my Christmas shopping early so that I have plenty of time to find exactly what I want. I can spend money on something expensive if I think it’s great! Of course, I sometimes shop for myself, too – I like buying books – but I get a lot more satisfaction from buying for my friends and relatives. I love seeing the expression on their faces when they see their gifts!

D. When I have the chance to go shopping, I prefer to buy high-quality things which are usually expensive. I always shop around to find exactly what I want to get – and it doesn’t matter how much it is. I also like staying at good hotels and dining out at fine restaurants. It makes me feel good to know I couldn’t have bought or experienced anything better. The same goes for my family and friends – I’m only happy to buy them the finest of gifts.

E. I’m very often short of money. By the time I’ve paid my bills and bought necessities, there isn’t much left over for anything else. I try not to spend too much on myself or going out, but I believe I deserve something nice every now and then. I really want to go on holiday in summer, so I’m trying to save a little each month. This means being even more careful about what I buy. I think it’s worth it, though, I haven’t been on holiday for ages.

F. I grew up in a family that worked hard for the money we earned. My parents were very careful with spending it and so I think I’ve learned to be, too. I like shopping and having fine things, but I really do try to keep to a budget. I remember how careful my Dad was with the money when I was a child and so I try to be the same. I also think it is important to save for the future as you never know what might happen.
