Jerome is feeling stressed out... He still hasn't paid Ria and now he has an unexpected bill to pay! What could he have done differently when booking the venue?

Not choose the most expensive location.

He should have paid the fixed damages deposit at the point of booking. He knows how his friends can get a bit carried away!

It's just bad luck. You can't plan for the unexpected!

Try Again!

Yes! We all make mistakes. Next time, Jerome will cover his back, even if it means paying a bit extra upfront to protect himself from unexpected charges, like a form of insurance.

Accidents happen. But you can ensure you're covered when it happens to you…

Try Again!

Ding! Jerome receives a DM on Instagram from a stranger. They're offering him some quick cash. Just what he needs! All he has to do is hold someone else's money in his bank account for a little while. Should he do it?

Jerome should do it! Easy money. What's not to love? It means he can pay off his debts and get Ria back on side. Result!

Jerome should block them. He has no idea who they are and it seems too good to be true... better play it safe and ignore it.

Careful... this is called "money muling". It's illegal.

Jerome dodged a bullet. Phew! This is called 'money muling' and it's illegal.

It's finally payday! Jerome took on a part-time job and has just made enough money to repay Ria. What should he do with his wages?

Pay Ria what he owes her now!

Go to that club tonight and pay Ria later. An extra week or so won’t make any difference…

Jerome receives a nice message from Ria to say thanks. He feels pretty good about himself.

Jerome receives an angry message from Ria. She's not happy. She saw a picture of him out with his mates. What's he going to tell her now?

Try Again!

Borrowing money from family and friends can cause problems. What two things could Jerome do to avoid having to borrow money from them in the future?

Invest in crypto

Use buy now pay later payment plans for some of his essential bills

Create a budget to help him manage his spending

Reduce his non-essential expenditure

Well done!
