Get Wise with money - Afu

Yesterday the yr 8's went over to the theatre for Get wise with Jeremy. We were learning about how to be wise about using our money we also learnt about cross roads, saving money, how to earn money, bank accounts, and other important things. The first thing he talked to us about was cross roads, everybody has been through cross roads, they are when you can choose the easy path or the choose the hard path. The easy path is a when you choose to do the easy things, the hard path us when you are challenging your self like be the best. The next thing he talked about was how to earn money, you can earn money by doing your chores like do the dishes, clean the benches, fold the laundry, or other things to do around the house. Another way you can earn money is sell and trade, you can sell lemonade, cakes, toys, treats, games, and other things. Another way to earn money is to ask the neighbours if you could do their jobs like pulls the weeds out of there garden, rake the leaves, mow the lawn, and other things. First if you want to do your neighbours jobs ask your parents to ask your neighbour for permission and if you can get payed. The next thing he talked to us about was bank accounts, he told us 5 things, 1. spend some on you and save some to, 2. The earlier you start saving the better you'll be, 3. Ways to earn, 4. free $$ interest, 5. save your $$ in your bank. If you start saving in your bank account it will start growing money thru interest. After that he talked about a few more things, then he gave the teacher wrist band ( yellow, grey and black.) I really enjoyed going to get wise with Jeremy because it was interesting and good.
