Lesson 13 Key Conversation Number Crunching

Krista: I don't get it. We have money, don't we?

Eric: Krista, we need to set aside enough money for the kid's soccer registration.

Krista: I know, but soccer doesn't start for another month.

Eric: Yeah, but it costs a lot of money. I don't know if we'll have enough.

Krista: It'll be OK. We have our Visa, don't we?

Eric: I don't think paying by credit card would be the best idea.

Krista: Why not? We use it for everything else.

Eric: Yeah, and the interest is really starting to hurt.

Krista: OK, so we'll pay it off with our next paycheck.

Eric: OK, so what's left over for savings?

Krista: Don't worry. With my new job, we'll have enough to cover the basic necessities.
