What a child is asked afterwards

The relationships where money can't be said

What do you do with pocket money? Save or spend?

Everyone gets the same subject. What differs is the follow-up: one question for children, two for teens, three for adults. Only the children's wording is simplified.

Where people usually get stuck on this one

When it all sounds obvious

Delete every line anyone could have written. What is left is yours.

When you have too much to say

Pick one. A single idea taken all the way beats ten touched lightly.

When excuses keep creeping in

Cut every “well, but”. The sentence stands up straight without them.

Today's constraints on this prompt

No 'thing'

'Thing' hides the real word. Name it.
