12．Saving money is easy when you don't have anything else to spend it on，but what happens when things come suddenly that demand some of your hard-earned money？These are called expenses．
   Chances are，most of your basic living expenses-food，shelter（住所），clothing，medical care---are covered by your family．But perhaps you and your family have agreed that you'll pay for other certain expenses out of your own money，such as cell phone bills，after-school snacks，jewelry or club fees．
   Expenses that happen regularly，like every week or month，are called"fixed"expenses．The good news is that because you know when these expenses are coming，you can plan for them．But life is full of surprises，and sometimes these surprises turn into expenses，too．You might have an emergency like fixing a flat tire on your bike，or just something unusual like the class trip to the Six Flags．These are called"unexpected"expenses and if you are smart with your money，you'll plan for these as well．
   Here's a secret when it comes to saving money：If you think of it as a regular expense，it'll be easier to put a certain amount aside．Tell yourself that the $20.00 you are trying to save up every month is something you absolutely（絕對地）must do，and there is no getting around it．
