Saving for a phone
A big goal, many months, and a moving price
The story
Kevin, 13, wants a KES 12,000 phone. He decides to put KES 800 a month into his Save jar from pocket money and tasks.
The big idea
Prices can move while you save. If the phone goes up 5%, it costs 12,000 + 600 = 12,600. New models can also make older ones cheaper. Check the price as you go.
Ask at home
Ask your child to pick one big goal and work out how many months it would take at their saving rate.
The full lesson, with its questions and Kesho Stars, is in the myKesho kids app.
