Definition: Present participle of spend, expenditure.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look!
Today we’re tackling ‘spending,’ it’s a word quite keen,
And the dictionary gives us clues, a helpful scene.
It tells us "spending" is part of “spend,” you see,
And also “expenditure," for you and me!
Now, let's break that down with a little rhyme,
To make this concept perfectly prime:
Spending
means to use what you have, it’s true,
Like money or time – things we share anew.
Think of buying treats, a shiny new toy,
Or donating your coins, bringing others joy!
“Expenditure” is bigger, a broader view,
It's all the costs that money sees accrue. Like bills and rent, and groceries too!
So spending’s an action, small or grand,
Using resources throughout the land!
Does that make sense? Any questions you might pose? 😊
