I would like to describe something special that I saved money to buy. I remember I was saving money for buying new headphones. During pandemic COVID-19, all these holes had been closed and classes were going to hell on zoom meeting. So that’s why I need headphones but I had a smartphone but I had no headphones. That’s why I didn’t able to join the classes and understand the lectures. I started saving money and first of all I managed my expenses and saved some money through these managing expenses techniques. My parents also gave me some amount of money because I had good grades in 9th class. Moreover I also sold some old books and it adds around $70 to saving from these books. I also did some part-time jobs and worked hard to manage my other expenses which are not helpful for me. So I took two months to collect or save enough money to buy headphones. But when I bought new headphones, it’s easier for me to join the classes and understand all the lectures carefully. Now there is a chance for me to achieve better results in the upcoming results. It was a great feeling when I bought these headphones from my own money. I am also using these headphones for playing music, games and also for work.
