Hi Soph hun
Just wanted to tell you about something, because we all know you watch these threads....
It's a little story about how normal people get hold of stuff,
There are these things called "Jobs".
Now what this means is, is that generally people work for a company (won't go into self-employment at this stage, it will just confuse you). They work a certain number of hours a week, go along usually to a building of some kind, and perform tasks as requested by their employer (aka the boss). Then every week or month, the employer transfers money into their bank account, and with that money they can do the obvious things such as keeping a roof over their head, feeding their family, etc.
But then... There sometimes is a little bit left over.. and with that money we go to the shops and we give them our money and in return we get to take home stuff!! You still with me at this point hun yeah?
It's quite a satisfying feeling, going out and earning the money yourself, knowing that it is something you have paid for through hard work. The following situation also often exists, which is that if we want something that is particularly expensive, we have to "save" for it... This means getting some of the money earned from the "job" and putting it away somewhere so that we can afford it at a later date!
Anyway hun all the best just wanted to tell you how it works here in the real world
Edit: I have realised that saying most people work in a building is a bit of a sweeping generalisation, because there are lots of people who do jobs outdoors, for example bin men or women, ...I was just trying to simplify it for you in a way that I thought you might understand, didn't want to get too technical like.
