Meet The 'Cashless Living' Challengers And Watch Them Hit The Town (Yes, Cashless)

Could you go cashless for a whole month? These four Student Edge members are going for it.

Last month, we began looking for enthusiastic and money-savvy students with a great on-screen presence to take the ‘Cashless Living’ Challenge sponsored by ANZ.

It meant following our strict, no-cash instructions but still hitting the town, eating out, going shopping and treating a friend, armed only with an ANZ Access Visa Debit card. Then, each contender would vlog about their experiences for the Student Edge website. This week, you can finally meet our final four Challengers: Kait, Emily, Nathan and Emily-Layne!

Each Challenger receives a $100 allowance deposited into their ANZ Access Advantage account over four weeks to complete each challenge. At the end of the month, the best Challenger - as judged by Student Edge - will win a grand prize of $3000.

For Week 1, we asked Kait, Emily, Nathan and Emily-Layne to complete the following challenge:

GOING OUT (CASHLESS).

How do you get around town – to work, or school – without cash? Is it possible to go out with friends – to the movies, to a club, to an arcade, to a concert etc. – without once having to pull out some cash?

Check out this week’s four entries and vote on your favourite below! The clip with the most votes will win the Challenger an additional $200 deposited into their ANZ Access Advantage account.
