M: Hi, Kate. You look upset. What’s up?
W: Well, I’m trying to figure out where all my money has gone.
M: You’ve lost your money? Was it stolen?
W: No, no. (12)I seem to have spent all my allowance for this month. Now I don’t even have money to go out and eat.
M: Hey, I thought you had a good part-time job at the supermarket.
W: I do. I work about 20 hours a week, and the pay is not bad, $ 10 per hour.
M: Really? So that’s what, $ 200 a week... times four weeks... (13)so that’s $ 800 a month. That’s not a bad income for a student!
W: I know. (13)And my parents send me $ 250 a month, too. But. . .
M: (14)Wow, that’s more than $ 1 000 a month. And you can’t live on that?
W: (14)No, I only manage to save about $ 10 a month.
M: It sounds like you have a budget problem. Simple, either work more or spend less.
W: I’m definitely not going to work more. I’ll have no time to study.
M: So you’d better start spending less. Why don’t you make a monthly budget?
W: A budget? Hmm, maybe. . . Hey, you major in economics, right?
M: Uh, yeah. Why?
W: (15)Well, you’re the best person to help me make a budget!
M: (15)Um, that really needs a lot of time. We need to sit down and talk.
