How can I best manage my money? How will I budget at university? What bank account is the best? How can I avoid debt? What about identity fraud?
Everybody needs money. But, learning about it can sometimes be a little scary, and a bit boring. Until now!
Creditability, the new FREE downloadable 3D role-playing game, takes you on an interactive journey through four money challenges so that you will be better prepared for the money maze in real life. Get it here: www.experian.co.uk/creditability
What people are saying
Hannah, 15: "I learned about mortgages, that you have to pay back more than you borrow and that it is a good idea to try not to use credit cards but that, if you need to, to check for a low interest rate."
Jordan, 13: "I learned that borrowing money isn't easy."

Take our quick quiz to see what type of saver you are!
1. It’s Friday night and your parents have given you your £30 weekly allowance. Do you:

- Spend half and save half for a rainy day – 2
- Save it to put toward that new digital camera you want so badly – 3
2. You’re winning lottery ticket bags you £200! Congratulations! Do you:
- Go on a crazy shopping spree! It’s all yours and you deserve something nice and expensive! - 1

3. You’ve just opened your credit card bill and you’re minimum payment is overdue, do you:
- Cancel your night out with the mates so you can put your money towards paying your bill immediately – 2
- Call the credit card company to let them know your situation and agree a plan of action - 1

How did you Score?
1-4
Spendthrift!
That’s right; any sign of money and you’ve already spent it before it hits your pockets! You need to start thinking about how to manage your income. Try sticking to a weekly budget, cutting down on luxuries or keeping a spending diary to monitor exactly what you spend every week, this way you will be able to cut out unnecessary spending and even save a little at the end of each month.
5-7
Sensible saver!
You are reasonably responsible with your money, putting some away when you need to, but also overspend sometimes. Keep an eye on your bank balance and weekly spending by switching to Internet banking. Internet banking will allow you to monitor you’re spending more frequently to prevent unnecessary overspending. Keep on track and you will be a super saver in no time!
8-12
Super Saver!
You are great with your money. You never spend more than you have. Your bank account and savings are looking very healthy and now is the time to explore how your money can start working for you! Why not see how you can make money from your savings by looking into high interest savings accounts such as an ISA (Individual Savings Account)? High interest savings accounts are a great way to grow your money safely and easily.
