The Money PagesBorrow the Book, Keep the $9
Lina finds another way to enjoy puzzles without buying a book.
Lina has $9. She wants a puzzle book, but she also wants to keep that money for a trip.
Her wallet refuses to turn into two wallets.
At the library, she finds a puzzle book she can borrow. It's not the exact book from the shop, but she likes the puzzles.
She checks when to return it and takes care of it. Her $9 can stay saved for the trip.
Borrowing is an alternative: another choice. It won't work for everything. Buying isn't wrong, either. It's useful to know your options.
