ASB Get Wise

Yesterday afternoon, we had a visit from ASB bank employee name Jeremy. We had talk about being wise with our money and what we can do and how we can earn it, in our kind of age. Jeremy had to talk us through from the easy roads where we take the easy challenges and the Hard roads where take the risky, and hard challenges. After that he talked about how we can earn the money from doing the chores or doing neighbourhood chores, like for example you can ask your neighbour for some help with their gardening or you can set up a bake sale in your street. Also Jeremy talked about having to work for what you wanted to achieve and also do the best jobs you can do but always remember that sometimes people are watching you.
