In this week's episode, Biz-E learns that in order to save the money she’s going to need to buy her mobile phone, she’s going to need to save and budget. She learns that budgeting is something that every household has to do. On a visit to the supermarket, she comes to understand the importance of money management. Plus she learns the important distinction between needs and wants.

Each week, we give the world globe a spin, and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people.
