    I've spent all my money on cheese again. Now I only have a few coins left.

    Again? And my 20 euros? I lent them to you last week!

    Erm … next month? But I want to start saving now. I just don't know how.

  5. Frida

    You spend too much money because you always pay cash. Then you don't see what's gone.

    True. Every Monday I withdraw a hundred euros at the cash machine, and by Wednesday it's all gone.

  7. Frida

    Then open a second account just for saving. That's free at many banks.

  8. Bruno

    And then I transfer a small amount to that account every month?

    Genau, mit einer Überweisung am Anfang vom Monat. Und kauf Käse nur, wenn es ein Angebot mit Rabatt gibt.

    Exactly, with a transfer at the beginning of the month. And only buy cheese when there's a special offer with a discount.

    Aber der Käse aus dem Angebot ist nicht so gut …

    Yes, it is! Inexpensive cheese can be tasty too. Think of the costs, Bruno!

    Na gut. Ab heute spare ich - aber erst nach dem Abendessen!

    Translation

    Oh, all right. From today I'm saving - but only after dinner!
