Plan Save Spend Budget Goal

MoneySave Jr is a user-friendly platform that teaches
young learners how to manage their pocket money. Whether it’s
R10 or R50 a week, learning to plan, save, and spend wisely
is a life skill and we’re making it fun and simple for
every learner.

The Tuck Shop Trap

Ayanda gets R20 every school day. She usually buys chips and juice for R18, then spends the last R2 on sweets. But this Friday, she wants to buy a class photo that costs R25.

Decision Point:

Should Ayanda:

Keep buying snacks every day and miss the class photo?

Cut her daily spending to R15 and save R5 per day for 5 days?

Lesson:

A little saving each day adds up. Planning ahead helps you say yes to bigger goals.

Headphones Hustle

Lwazi’s aunt gave him R100 for doing well in his tests. He wants to buy headphones that cost R150.

He also gets R10 pocket money every day for lunch.

Decision Point:

Should Lwazi:

Spend the R100 now on snacks, a cheap toy, and data bundles?

Save R5 from his daily pocket money for 10 school days and combine it with his R100?

Lesson:

Short-term fun vs long-term value, saving helps you buy what really matters.

The Friday Treat Plan

Nandi gets R15 per day.

She wants to buy a burger on Friday that costs R35, but she also enjoys buying a lollipop and soda every day (total R13).

Decision Point:

If Nandi wants that burger, how much should she save daily? What can she skip or swap during the week?

Lesson:

Making small sacrifices today lets you enjoy bigger rewards later.
