Being a teenager, like many others, I tend to waste money every now
             then. Usually, this happens when I want something more than I need or when
             I don't use my head. What if there were 3 ways to make me use my money
             more wisely? To spend my money more wisely, I would have to buy only
             things that would benefit me or that I would need.
             One way to spend my money well would be to spend it on
             necessicities. Necessicities, such as car insurance bills or gas for the car.
             I need a car to get around from place to place, so my car insurance bill has

             money in the future. Technically, I am gaining the value of money by buying
             these things. The more memoribilia I collect, the more money I could make
             off of them. Plus, I wouldn't mind going into the sports card trading
             business, so collecting now, helps me to broaden my chances of making
             it successful. It just takes time and the more I invest in cards/autographes,
             the more money it will all be worth.
             If I were to buy my own clothes, it could show good judgement
             on how well I spend my money. If I bought clothes when I didn't need them,
             for instance, only to be like everyone else, I would be wasting money. On
             the other hand, if I bought clothes when they are needed, I would be
             spending my money wisely. Plus, if I had to buy my own clothes, it would
