British teenagers cost their parents an average (平均) of￡9,000 a year. Where does their money come from? And what do they like to spend it on? Let"s see what the two boys said.        Emil, 15, lives with his parents, two brothers and one sister.        Income (收入): Every week I get￡30 from my parents. I usually spend it going out with my friends.        Expenditure (花费): I have two phones. My parents pay for one — it"s￡25 a month — and I pay for the other. If I need clothes, and I really need them, my mum will give me the money. I pay ￡6 for my hair cut.        Tom, another boy, 17, lives with his parents.

Have a good time!"        Expenditure: I usually save up my pay for the things I want. If I need a little bit of extra money, I"ll ask for it as a present.
