About a twentieth
About a tenth
About a fifth
About a third
Our homes are the most expensive things we have to pay for so a large part of the money we earn goes on that
10 .
If you only have a small amount of money left after paying your bills each week, how can you pay for something that costs a lot of money?
By saving up your spare money each week
By robbing a bank
By buying lots of lottery tickets
By promising you’ll pay for it later
Robbing a bank is a crime and something you should never even consider.
If you win the lottery you can pay for things, but the chances of that happening are tiny, even if you do buy lots of tickets.
The best way to pay for things you can’t afford is to save up your spare money
