$$Welcome Back$$

Wow Term 4

This Term we are making Money! Our big question really is how do we make money in a market day later in the term? Every Greenie we earn will be cashed in at the end of term for a Tararua Dollar.

Some Initial Wonderings we have are:

Who made money?
Why was it invented?
What do tax payers do?
Who are tax payers?
Where did the first tax payer come from?
Why do things cost money?
How does a credit card work?
What is a mortgage?
What is GST and why did it go up?
