30、 9 The wider aim of the jars is to encourage teenagers to think more obiectively about money and the things that it can do, so that they grow up understanding. if you like, the value of the valuable. In this way, they will be better equipped in their adult lives to make informed choices about how they use the money they have. Indeed, the small change inside their jars could mean a big change in how they manage their money. 介绍这四个罐子，更深远的目的在于鼓励青少年以一种更客观的方式思考金钱以及用钱能做的事情,让他们在成长的过程中逐渐理解重要事物的真正价值。这样，他们在步入成人社会时才会更加得心应手，并且能够对如何管理金钱做出明智的选择。事实上，他们罐子中的细微变化可能意味着日后他们理财方式的巨大变化。.
