The Chinese New Year is coming! Do you still have the chance to get the red envolope from our parents? With the development of our modern society, people's living conditions become much more comfortable. And the children have more chance to get more money from their relative or their parents. But young children do not know how to use the money appropriately, they possibly consume all the money to buy expensive merchandise that they like. What about you, friends?

need no money ,sorry

, in fact, when i wasat my own school ihad earneda lot of money by my part job, I will use the money to buy some for my loved ones the gifts they like, the rest of the money I would buy some books and my daily necessities

lol, I'm too old to get lucky money from my parents now. However,the to[pic reminded me of the most exciting moments in the Spring Festival. When I was a kid, I always looked forward to the coming of the Spring Festival, for I could get lucky money from my parents and relatives. At that time, both of my family andour relatives were poor, and I could only get 10-20yuan at the most for my lucky. Thanks goodness! My parents were open and kind and allowed me to have all my lucky money. In those days I liked reading so much that all my lucky money contributed to the bookshop in our small town. I could still remember how excited I was to own one more new book.

Nowadays things have changed greatly. My son can get so much lucky money each year that I have to save it for him in a bank. I told my son that he could have all his money back after he graduate from college. Each Spring Festival I give 50 yuan to my son as his allowance. And all his allowance is spent on his toys of all kinds. I should say that he doesn't know the value of the money. Maybe it's the high time that I taught him how hard to earn money.

i think i could buy sth useful and keep it for a long time .such as books;foods.

usually ,i would be given money for my mom.but the reason of i am a chidren

thinking of the lucky money during my childhood, now,i pretty regret handing all of them to my parents.

lucky money doesn't mean new-year blessing to childrens anymore, on the contrary, its just adults' games. modenization, as well as Bureaucracy is eroding our chinese traditional lucky-money culture. to date, lucky moeny has turned to be to root of evil, corruption, and trigger ofmoney worship. mostly, people show their gratitude to seniority by gifting red envolop to their kids.

i am too old to get the gift money
