Bud The Budget Bunny

Bud Bunny

Hey, I’m Bud! Everyone tells me I talk a little fast, so try and keep up! In my free time, I like to go out for a run or to grab a snack – you can’t beat the crunch of a fresh carrot! But most importantly, my favorite thing to do is play video games. I even have the high score in my favorite game, Hopper Hotel! My life isn’t all games, though – I also have a job delivering packages in the summer. It’s tough work, but I know all the best shortcuts around town – I’m the fastest delivery bunny in the city! I do tend to be a little forgetful sometimes, but luckily I always have my friends around to help me out. I wonder if that new video game came out yet…wait, what was I talking about again? Oh, yeah! My friends! Let me introduce them…

Bud The Budget Bunny's Friend Dusty The Dog

Dusty Dog

Huh? Oh, how’s it going? I’m Dusty! Don’t let Penny fool you; I’m actually quite brilliant when it comes to money! Well…as long as it doesn’t involve food. Have I mentioned yet that I love food? Because I LOVE food. Especially ice cream! Luckily my friends own a snack shop, so I have access to all the best treats in the city. I really wish they would give me a discount, though. But, hey, I work hard to earn money from my babysitting job, and thankfully all the parents love me. It’s probably because I’m so fun and friendly and sometimes even share my treats with the kids I babysit. I’m basically the best! Wait, I think Mom is calling me for dinner. Gotta go!

Bud The Budget Bunny's Friend Penny The Pig

Penny Pig

Hello, I’m Penny! My parents always taught me that you can’t beat the feeling of a hard day’s work. In fact, I started my very own lemonade stand, where I am working to save money for my future! I know that with hard work and dedication, I can continue to grow my business and expand to open even more lemonade stands. Besides, I do sell the best lemonade in the city, so I have complete confidence in the growth of my business. It will be so exciting to see the smiles on the faces of all the new customers! While my friends might consider me a bit of a smarty-pants, I am always happy to help them out whenever they have questions about business or money (which is quite often!). After all, I know they would be lost without me. Especially Dusty!

Bud The Budget Bunny's Friend Tito The Turtle

Tito Turtle

Hi there, I’m Tito! People might call me slow, or boring, but I think I’m just careful. I would rather take my time to do something perfectly, than rush through it. I mean, have you seen some of the lawns I mow in the summer? Talk about precision craftsmanship! Careful work like that takes time. I take pride in what I do, and everyone is always satisfied with my work. I like to be cautious with my money too, and divide it up between my “Save,” “Spend,” and “Share” jars. That way, I’m always prepared for any situation and can stick to my financial plans!

Bud The Budget Bunny's Friend Sasha The Shark

Sasha Shark

Hi! I’m Sasha. I’m known for being friendly and fun with a passion for making people happy with the delicious goodies I sell at my treat shop. But stay wise – I have a shrewd business sense. Never underestimate a savvy businesswoman such as myself. I’ll let you take anything you’d like from my shop, but you’ll have to pay me back in full – with interest! And I always collect on my loans! I can’t wait to help you learn about borrowing and interest. We’re going to have so much fun!
