Teenagers and money. Most British teenagers get pocket money from their parents. In some families, teenagers have to help with jobs around the house to earn their pocket money. They help with the housework: vacuuming the floor, loading the dishwasher, setting the table, and so on. Or they do things outside such as washing the car and cutting the grass in the garden. They spend most of their money on going out, clothes, trainers, music, computer games and mobile phone bills. Not many teenagers shop online, because they enjoy going to the shops with their friends. However, they buy things online if they can get them cheaper that way. A lot of teenagers try to save some money in a bank, too.
