Dear Ben,
Hi! Thank you for your letter. To my mind, thinking about money is normal. I think the first step to taking control of your money is doing a budget. Of course, I have some pocket money now. In summer I always try to earn a bit of pocket money. Every time I think over my purchases. I can spend money wisely and independently. I usually spend my money for cinema, swimming pool, fitness-club and cafes. When I was a child, I use a piggy bank for saving money; sometimes I use it now too.
I think taking dancing classes is a good activity.
Best wishes,
Alex
