Imagine that you're a teen-aged girl in a middle-class community. At the beginning of the story, you have $60 that you've saved up by babysitting over the summer. School's out for the day. Where do you want to go?srjava.util.Vectorٗ}[;IcapacityIncrementI elementCount[ elementDatat[Ljava/lang/Object;xpur[Ljava.lang.Object;Xs)lxp sq~t%Time to kick back and relax. You turn on the TV, and watch some afternoon shows while you think about doing your homework. Commercials advertise mouth-watering burgers, gooey pizza, crispy golden french fries, and other yummy fast food. Now you're hungry, and it's still hours until dinner.sq~ uq~ sq~tYou wander into the kitchen, check the fridge, and open the cabinets. Not much there, but you find some English muffins, tomato sauce, and a little cheese and make yourself some "pizza." Sprinkle a little oregano and pepper on it, and pop it in the toaster oven. Not the fanciest snack, but you like it. You hang out and start doing some homework until dinner. The doorbell rings.sq~ uq~ sq~tIt's a girl scout, selling cookies. Do you want to buy some cookies? $3 a box, and she's got those wonderful Thin Mint cookies that you like so much.sq~ uq~ sq~tYou buy the cookies, and hide them in your room so that your little brother doesn't snitch them. You munch some cookies and do your homework until dinner.sq~ uq~ sq~tmAfter dinner, you get a phone call from your friend Amy. She is so excited she can hardly speak, but she tells you that Poysen Boysen is coming to town next week, and she knows someone who can get you both really great seats right in front. You can't believe it - they're your number one favorite band! Amy tells you the tickets plus transportation will cost $60. sq~ uq~ sq~tpWell, you started with $60, and spent $3 on the cookies, so you're a little bit short. Your mom says that she'll give you the extra $3, though, if you share the cookies with the rest of the family. Now you have to decide, is this what you want to spend all your money on? Poyzen Boysen only tours every two years, so this is a rare opportunity. You're very tempted.sq~ uq~ sq~tAbsolutely. You and Amy go to the concert, and have a fabulous time. The seats are great, and the lead singer looks like he's singing right to you. You're our of money now, but have wonderful concert memories. Was it worth it? What do you think?sq~ uq~ ppppppppppppq~"tGo to the concertxsq~tYou are seriously tempted, and think long and hard about your decision. Poyzen Boysen is a great band. On the other hand, $60 is a lot of money - you could buy 5 Poyzen Boysen CDs for that, and be able to listen to them any time you want. Or maybe you want to save the money for something else. You've been very good about saving your money so far.

So you tell her sorry, not interested. You go back inside and work on homework until dinner.sq~ uq~ sq~tmAfter dinner, you get a phone call from your friend Amy. She is so excited she can hardly speak, but she tells you that Poysen Boysen is coming to town next week, and she knows someone who can get you both really great seats right in front.

Yum. Now you're feeling satisfied, and you head back towards home.sq~ uq~ sq~tOn your way home, you pass a thrift store. You notice a nice sweater in the window. Of course, it's a thrift store, which means all the clothes are used, but still, it looks clean, and as long as it looks new, it should be okay, right?sq~ uq~ sq~tSure, why not. You go in the thrift store, and take a closer look at that sweater. You try it on, and it looks great. It doesn't look brand new, but it's still nicer than most of the things you have hanging in your closet. The price is $10.sq~ uq~ sq~t_You buy it, and head home with your new purchase, proud of yourself for finding such a bargain.sq~ uq~ sq~tmAfter dinner, you get a phone call from your friend Amy.

Amy tells you the tickets plus transportation will cost $60. sq~ uq~ sq~t{After buying the fast food and the sweater, you only have $46 left. You could probably find a babysitting job this weekend to make up the difference, although that's not your favorite way to spend the evening.

You're very tempted.sq~ uq~ sq~tYou call up Mrs. Finklestein down the street, and she says that she could use a babysitter Saturday night. You babysit for 4 hours, earning $16, only a little sad at missing the chance to hang out Saturday night with your friends. You and Amy go to the concert, and have a fabulous time. The seats are great, and the lead singer looks like he's singing right to you. And you look great wearing your new sweater.
