Think of spend like when you have a box of crayons. Each time you color a picture, one of your crayons gets a little bit shorter. Spending is like using your crayons. You have to decide which picture is important enough to color because once the crayon is all gone, you can’t use it anymore. It’s about making choices with what you have.

Imagine you have a bag of cookies. Every time you eat a cookie, the bag gets lighter and has fewer cookies. Spending is like eating those cookies. You have to think about how many cookies you want to eat now and how many you want to save for later. It’s about balancing what you want now with what you might want later.

Picture a sandbox with sand. When you build a sandcastle, you use some of the sand. Spending is like using that sand. You can make a big castle, but then you’ll have less sand left to make other things. It’s about deciding how to use your sand wisely so you can build all the things you want.
