Reading and listening exercise

Un gestor es una persona que ayuda con las cuentas y finanzas. Su trabajo es controlar el presupuesto y evitar gastar de más. Los gestores pueden abrir cuentas bancarias y pedir préstamos para sus clientes. El objetivo del gestor es que no se pierda el dinero y que se ganen intereses con los ahorros. A veces los gestores recomiendan dejar de gastar para ahorrar más. Los gestores son importantes para controlar las deudas y organizar las finanzas. Contratar a un gestor es una buena idea para evitar errores con el dinero. Hoy los bancos tienen gestores online para ayudar a sus clientes sin salir de casa.

A manager is a person who helps with accounts and finances. Their job is to control the budget and avoid overspending. Managers can open bank accounts and request loans for their clients. The goal of the manager is to ensure money is not lost and to earn interest from savings. Sometimes managers recommend stopping spending to save more. Managers are important for controlling debts and organizing finances. Hiring a manager is a good idea to avoid errors with money. Today, banks have online managers to assist their clients without leaving home.
