Activity How should Mia budget her money?
Start
Mia's budget
Mia is in her third term at university. The term is eight weeks. For the first four weeks, Mia spent what she wanted. Because Mia hasn't budgeted, she will run out of money before the end of term unless she budgets for the next four weeks. Have a look at Mia's spending so far on the next page and then answer the questions.

Mia has a busy week 7 ahead. She's been invited to a salsa club night for her best friend's birthday. It will cost her £20 in train fares to get there, £10 for the entry fee, and she plans to take £50 spending money, like her other friends. It's also her mum's birthday that week. Mia wants to buy her mum a trilogy book set that she's been wanting as a birthday present, which costs £30. What should Mia do?

Pretend she has a headache and cancel going to her friend's party and spend £30 on the book set.
Do both...it's her best friend so why not splash out and spend the full £50 too.
Get the bus to the salsa club for £5, pay the entry fee, limit spending to £20 and buy the book set.

This is ok in the short-term, but...
By week 7, Mia starts to feel unwell due to poor nutrition, causing her to miss homework deadlines and feel too ill to sit her exam. Have another go!
