basic adulting quiz

Worth doing. I got a couple wrong that I didn't think were wrong when I answered. Bit of a wake up call.

The egg one is baffling. I've never seen buy one get one free for eggs.

I got 8. It would be great if this stuff was taught in schools. I worked in a bank for a while, and as unpleasant as that was at least it made me learn about interest

Ahh… I don’t have a car and am a pensioner. Also I don’t have a credit card. I can only really speak to the eggs.

Does this mean I’m entitled to kids meals and tickets?

10/11. The credit card one fucked me.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

9/11. Don't rely on me to change a tyre!

[–] mysticgreg@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

10/11 - the super contribution one got me (by half a percent!).

[–] Nath@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Exactly the same here. Even down to the amount I was off by on that one we got wrong.
Twinsies!

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

7/10 not mad about the ones I got wrong!

[–] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Same here! I got the ones right that I should've.

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

I couldn't be bothered doing the math. 4! Which is rather a worry given what I'm doing this week 😝

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

8 outta 11. not bad!

[–] Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

8/11

Off by .5% for super. Didn’t get the bonus question and what was the last….

Oh yeah, the CC one.
