Plan B

B is another game, not a higher ceiling

Plan B is a replacement trip in the limit. Rain, a closed exhibition, a strike, till zero, illness. B is written when it is calm. Under stress it is invented badly and someone else’s pocket is reached.

B has its own M. Often smaller. A park, a playground, a free museum, a game in a backpack. It is not shame. It is Planner.

The exhibition is closed. Ondra: “we will top up another one”. Nela: sheet B — a park, a snack from a backpack, a reserve for the bus back. A teacher takes B. The ceiling lives. Ondra’s top-up is a wish.

Smaller or the same, not bigger

B uses a reserve only for a travel problem, not for a mood upgrade. An upgrade is W that died.

The class may be disappointed. Disappointment is not a reason to break the till. الاسم the disappointment. Then B. Order.

Pocket money: B of the day, when a machine does not work — a snack from home. The same muscle.

Do not write B as a joke “we will go begging”. Begging and a public collection are not B.

Nela wants to shorten it to “it will be fine somehow”. Ondra asks what the lesson Plan B is for, when a table can do a sum. A sum does not count respect, a PIN, a trap or an envelope. The core is: Plan B is a smaller action in the limit, written in calm.

Adults pay the rent. The card, the account and the PIN belong to a parent. A child’s email does not belong here. Pocket-money numbers do not belong on the network. If you break these rules in the lesson “Plan B”, you know a word, not the course.

A: a museum 150. B: a park 0 entry, food the same, the reserve holds. Ceiling B 120 < 270. Nela. Ondra B: a funfair 400. That is C, which you do not have.

Rain: B an indoor game a teacher allows. The number 0 on entry.

Practice numbers, not a bank statement. Nela has 80 Kč in the want envelope. Ondra pushes a step this lesson can name. When Nela uses the core, either it waits for a parent, or it fits the envelope. If not, anger and a hole are left — proof of pressure, not that the lesson is pointless.

Why this right now

You are in the course Money with Martin, level Planner. You can write numbers in a notebook or a table, but the topic is money and decisions, not Excel formulas. The account, the card and the PIN belong to a parent. A child’s email does not belong here. Do not put pocket-money numbers on the network.

This is not the Sheets with Martin course. A table may help, but the mark of success is a decision, not SUM.

You will know this lesson by one sentence: Plan B is a smaller action in the limit, written in calm. When you can say it to a parent or a teacher, you have the core. The rest is practice, not magic.

The finale puts a sheet + B together. With no B the sheet is fragile. With B it can carry rain.

If you skip this, the next lesson in level Planner will stand on fog. A B sentence and a B ceiling exist. A mood upgrade that is not. It is not a test for marks. It is a safety net, so “Plan B” is not only a heading.

Four things you will build from the course

The course has four small projects. You do not have to do them all at once. Today you add only what this lesson can do.

Workshop: a B sentence

Onto your sheet A add B. One sentence, ceiling B ≤ A.

1. A B sentence. A number ≤ ceiling A.

2. Disappointment in one word. Then B. Order.

3. A reserve in B: only travel back, not an upgrade.

4. B is not a collection and not a mall with no watch.

You count when B is smaller and written. Inventing B at closed doors is late — that is why paper from last time.

Pocket money: Pocket money: B of the day = a snack from home. Do not write someone else’s amount, a PIN, an IBAN or “how much a classmate gets” next to it. A rule and a practice number are enough — or an honest zero.

Class trip: The trip sheet: B already has a line. Now check that B ≤ A. Do not write someone else’s amount, a PIN, an IBAN or “how much a classmate gets” next to it. A rule and a practice number are enough — or an honest zero.

Game shop: A game: the server falls. B is not to buy a pass. B is another free game. Do not write someone else’s amount, a PIN, an IBAN or “how much a classmate gets” next to it. A rule and a practice number are enough — or an honest zero.

Stall: A stall: rain. B = another day, not a sale under cost. Do not write someone else’s amount, a PIN, an IBAN or “how much a classmate gets” next to it. A rule and a practice number are enough — or an honest zero.

What to tell a parent with no wage and no account number: “Today I went through plan b — Plan B is a smaller action in the limit, written in calm.” If they have no time, a slip in the notebook is enough. Stories and class chat are not enough.

B ≤ A. If you cannot see this, let the next lesson wait. It is not shame. It is a hole in the chapter, not in you.

B is written in calm. If you cannot see this, let the next lesson wait. It is not shame. It is a hole in the chapter, not in you.

B is not someone else’s pocket. If you cannot see this, let the next lesson wait. It is not shame. It is a hole in the chapter, not in you.

Three nos here too: do not chase a ranking, do not bypass a payment lock, do not carry blame for rent. When someone hurries for a code from an SMS, those are Banker and Sceptic doors, not a workshop in a rush.

Practice: B, or a wish?

Ceiling A 270.

1. A park 0. B?

2. A funfair 400. Why not B?

3. “Someone will top up.” Why not B?

4. A mall with no watch. Why not?

Now you 💪

Go through three checks. By each one, tick in your head: do I see it, or not?

1. B ≤ A.
2. B is written in calm.
3. B is not someone else’s pocket.

If something is missing, go back to the steps above. It is not a test for marks. It is a safety net, so you go on with certainty, not with a mess.

What to take from this lesson

• B = a replacement in the limit.
• Disappointment may be. The till does not crack.
• Write in calm.
• Safety with an adult.
• الاسمs in the examples (Nela, Ondra) are made up. Do not put your number, email or photo here.
• Next lesson: When you can do this, go to the next lesson in the same level.
