More About Wage
Long ago, people worked for food and shelter. They did not get money like we do now. As time went on, people started to get paid for their work. Now, we have wages for all kinds of jobs.
Wages help us buy food, clothes, and toys. When you earn a wage, you can save for big things too. This helps you learn how to use money well.
In the future, wages may change. Some jobs may pay more. Others may pay less. But work will always be important.
