Expenditure is like when you have a jar of cookies, and every time you take a cookie out to eat, the number of cookies in the jar gets smaller. Spending money is like taking cookies out of the jar. When you buy something, you use your money, and the amount of money you have becomes less, just like the cookies.

Imagine you have a garden full of flowers. You need to use water to keep the flowers healthy and beautiful. The water you use is like your resources. When you water the flowers, you’re using up some of your water, just like when you spend money, you’re using up some of your money.

Think about your favorite toy car. It needs fuel to go. Every time you play with it, the fuel gets used up. Expenditure is like the fuel your toy car needs to keep moving. You have to use some to keep playing, just like you have to spend money to buy things you need or want. So, expenditure is all about using what you have to get what you need or enjoy, just like cookies, water, or toy car fuel.
