Okay, today I want to share my experience of saving money to buy a phone. I decided to try to save money for it because for my childhood I dreamed about buying a very expensive machine by myself. But actually it was not the only reason. One of my reasons was jealousy. For example, when I was at sixth grade, everyone in my group had iPhones and I did not feel myself comfortable. I thought that if I didn’t have phone like others, everyone would laugh at me. The problem was that my parents were not that rich to afford me an iPhone. So I decided to save money and buy my own phone by myself. And my parents were very proud of me. After 2 years of struggling, because my parents were giving me pocket money very rarely, like 2 times a month, it was very hard, so I had to work side job for additional money. But finally I bought a phone. I was so happy that I literally cried because I eventually did. My parents were very happy and I still remember that experience was very good impression.
