It’s our final episode of ‘Money + Me’, and it’s finally time for Biz-E the Bee to buy her mobile phone. We’ve learnt what money is and where it comes from, how to budget, set goals and save, and explored some fun ways kids can make money. Now Biz-E finally gets to buy her new phone, but there are a lot of phones out there, so how does she know what’s best? In this episode, Bryce and Amanda will help Biz-E learn to compare and contrast competing offers, look beyond the sales hype to find hidden costs, and always be wary of those sneaky in-app purchases.
