    E-Mail SPENDING MONEY

    Uploaded by

    The summary provides advice to a friend on how to spend £500 they saved over the summer in 3 sentences: 1) If I were you, I'd save the £500 for future expenses or emergencies rather than spending it all at once. 2) Saving the money in a bank account would earn you interest over time and leave the funds available if an unexpected cost arises. 3) You could also consider setting some aside for a fun activity you both enjoy, like the cycling trip you mentioned, and save the remainder.

    Hi Alex,

    Thanks for your last email. I am so glad you enjoyed your


    weekend in Ireland and I can't wait to see you again
    and tell me the things that happened to you when we meet.

    I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I've been busy helping
    my mom in the store. Believe it or not, I was in charge all this
    year in charge of this store, taking out costs, the sum of profits
    and investments, but it was worth it and of course I am also
    studying.

    I recently read your email and the advice I can give you is to
    save that money since you may need it in the future

    Love Jessica x

    PD: Could you come visit me?


    miss you!
