Today , an Staff from ASB (Auckland Saving's Bank)  came and had a chat with us about how to use your money wisley , named Marlon. He started off by playing an game to help us get more of our knowladge and understanding on money. The process is to Stop , think and make the right decsions with our money also to learn about how we can save and spend our money. For this game we acted like we're going on  a trip to Fiji, We needed to know how we could save and spend our money with Insurance , Food , Plane Tickets , Activites ,Hotel and Passort. .

Each group got $1800 as their budget , we needed to use our thinking by knowing how we can spend it wisely with thoese seven main challenges in the game. In my team , we worked collabortive , shared our opionons on what we should do with our if we should spend it or save it ? our first question was * an Passport now would be $200 and passport later would be higer , we our group decided to buy our Passport now as , it wouldn't be more expensive if we buy it later. 

We needed to make the right choices , so we could also get more pionts to win the game , at the end , we all counted our pionts and eveyone got the correct answer and the chose the correct choice's to spend and save money. For this I really liked and enjoyed talking with Marlon also talking with my teammate to pick the right choices on learning how to save and spend our money.
