Why do we need money?
- Money helps us buy the things we want and need, like food, clothes, and toys.
- It's easier to trade money for things instead of trading items we own, which can be hard.
- Money helps people save for later, like buying a big toy or going on vacation.
Examples:
- Buying snacks:
- If you want candy, you can give a few dollars to the store to get it.
- It makes buying candy easy!
- Saving for a video game:
- If you want a fun video game that costs 20 dollars, you can save your money each week.
- This way, you can buy it later after collecting enough money!
- Going to the movies:
- When you want to see a movie, you need to buy a ticket with money.
- The ticket lets you go inside to watch the movie!
