Money and me

[Encarna]

Hello again,

Yes, I don't earn very much money with this job, and, despite I want to save a little money every month, I don't always get my purpose.

I try not to waste money, but it's not easy: I avoid certain bookstores (the books I read are not in the library), and I only buy them on special days (the problem is that in these days I buy more than one book!); I choose only some concerts during the year, because the tickets are not cheap... I have expensive vices!

I need another job! :-)

Thanks for your story Encarna! You have some very nice vices. Hopefully you will find a fantastically well-paid job very soon! Well, they say the economy is improving, so who knows!

Can I help?
despite I want to save a little money every month, I don't always get my purpose= Despite must be followed by a noun. Here you can say: Although I try to save a little money every month, I don't always manage to do it.

See you,
Pieter
