Mark: Just use cash or have a debit card. That way you can actually see how much money you have left!

Jane: It’s in case of emergency! That’s what I tell my parents!

Mark: Jane!

Jane: And there are my 2)maintenance bills.

Mark: Yeah, that’s true. Gas, water and electricity can be dear.

Jane: Hmmm, I was thinking more Starbucks, the cinema and going dancing.

Mark: That’s hardly maintenance, is it?

Jane: Well it maintains my 3)sanity!

Mark: Haha, but seriously, don’t you 4)budget at all?!

Jane: I try to, but university living is actually quite expensive. Phone bills, rent, university books, tuition fees…they all add up!

Mark: Don’t you have a loan to help sort those out?

Jane: I did, yeah.

Mark: What do you mean you “did”?

Jane: Well…

Mark: Go on, tell me.

Jane: Well I’ve always wanted to go traveling around Europe and I thought that 5)whilst I had the cash…

Mark: Oh Jane. Please don’t tell me you spent your entire loan on a holiday!

Jane: Not all of it. Just most of it I guess.

Mark: But what are you going to do for the rest of the year?

Jane: I guess I have to find a way to get more money to cover myself.

Mark: Any ideas?

Jane: I guess I could try and get another loan or extend my 6)overdraft.
