When you plan your trip, what should be decided at first？（)

and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them．They have always complained，more or less justly，that they are possessive and dominant；that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis；that they talk too much about certain problems——and that they have no sense of humor，at least in parent-child relationships． I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young． Young people often irritate parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles，in enter-tainers and music．This is not their motive．They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet accepted．So they create a culture and society of their own．Then，if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents，this gives them additional enjoyment．They feel they are superior，at least in a small way，and that they are leaders in style. and taste． Sometimes you are resistant，and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do．If they did approve，it looks as if you are betraying your own age group．But in that case，you are assuming that you are the underdog（劣势者）：you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor．This is passive way of looking at things．It is natural enough after long years of childhood，when you were completely under your parents’contr01．But it ignores the fact that you are nOW beginning to be responsible for yourself． If you plan to control your life，cooperation can be part of that plan．You can impress others，especially your parents，into doing things the way you want．You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative，so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.

few ideas to make a good action plan.

First, know your goals.If you don't know where you're going, you're likely to end up anywhere,or even nowhere.The action plan should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timed(SMART).It will take you toward the completion of that goal.

Next, list the necessary strategies that will be used to realize the goals.Be clear about very important events, and also any hidden difficulties you may meet.Break large tasks into smaller ones.Set deadlines for each task.Without clear deadlines, some tasks may never get completed.

Thirdly, follow your plan and don't stop until it's finished.Once your plan is made and shared with the team, the next step is simple: take daily action and make sure that everyone is doing their part.

Finally, change the date if you must, but never give up on the goals.Sometimes unexpected situations and events can appear and prevent you from finishing the tasks on time.If this happens, do not be discouraged –change your plan and continue working to meet your goals.

SAVE MONEY BY UNDERSTANDING WHY YOU SPEND IT

To save money, you simply need to spend less than you earn. It is easy to say, but why is it so difficult to do？ To answer this question, you need to study the factors that keep you spending all the time.

EASY ACCESS TO CREDIT

For most people, this is the biggest reason for overspending. People can easily get a credit card, simply by filling out a short form. in a bank or jumping on their website. They can borrow money from banks to go shopping, even buy cars or houses. When you aren't physically handing someone money or a check for a purchase, you will feel you are spending free money or you aren't spending money at all. Try using cash to get your spending under control.

MISUSING CREDIT CARDS

A credit card is an interest free short-term loan. When used as planned, this can be a powerful financial tool. The problem is when you begin to let the balance continue from month to month. If you make a $200 purchase on your credit card and find out that at the end of the month you can't afford to repay the full amount, this is when the high interest rates on the cards really begin to hurt you. That is no way of saving money.

GIVING IN TO TEMPTATION

We all need to enjoy life, but don't waste your financial future for a few guilty pleasures today if they aren't in your budget. When you know that you can't afford an activity, don't give in. Instead, invite your friends over for a home dinner party, game night, or some other activities where you can still enjoy time together, but without breaking your budget.

SPENDING TO FEEL GOOD

Everyone enjoys getting something new — buying yourself something feels good. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, as long as you don't go overboard. You'll feel good about your purchase whether you make it with cash or by credit card, but you'll feel even better when you don't have to spend the next two years trying to pay it off with 20% interest.
