PWC Learning

 

This morning Price Water Coopers came into our class to give us a lesson about Financial Literacy. First they introduced themselves and then we got into our first activity. Our first activity was in a book that they gave us and we had to tick or x out things that we thought that were not necessary to buy. 

The next activity we did was thinking of ways to earn money and things that could reduce expenses. My ideas for earning money were Carwash, Food sale, Get a job, Garage sale, Window washing, Clean the house, Lemonade stand, Sell chocolate bars, Fundraise and for Reduce expenses I only had one idea which was to buy cheap things.

Our last and final activity before morning tea was a Saving plan. Each table was allocated a different object. My object was a Tablet and the cost of the tablet was $200. My table saving plan was to do a car wash in the first week for $10 each day so we got up to $70 in the first week. Second week we decided to do a Food sale and $5 each day which gets us $105 in the second week. In the Third week we did Window washing for $10 for each day, which got us to $175 in the third week. And for the fourth and final week we Babysat each day for $5 Which got us up to $210. So we got what we were saving for and had an extra $10.
