Today’s episode will focus on More about Money Matters
Why do you think we choose this topic? We chose this topic because it is important to have the knowledge, stills and attitudes to manage money well. As you get older and take on more responsibility, you may start having access to your own money and can make decisions about how to get it and spend it. Young people who have money management skills make wise decisions about spending. They know when and how to save. They can use money to make more money and can use money to manage emergencies.
After this episode, you will be able to:
1) Demonstrate comfort with adding numbers
2) Recognise the difference between wants and needs
3) Explain the importance of saving
4) Evaluate whether certain ways of earning money are safe or unsafe for young people
