British teenagers receive pocket money from various sources such as parents, neighbors, and part-time jobs. Some teenagers do odd jobs for neighbors in exchange for money, while many over age 13 work part-time jobs on Saturdays, such as in shops or sports centers. Teenagers spend their pocket money primarily on sweets, chocolate, clothes, magazines, and technology like mobile phones and games. Girls tend to spend more on clothes, cosmetics, and phones, while boys spend more on food, games, DVDs, and CDs.
