Rob's quickfire quiz
Top money saving hack:
Think outside the box. If you've been buying something the same way for many years, there's almost certainly a more efficient way to buy it today.
Favorite emoji:
🙏 It reminds me of meditation, where everything is perfectly aligned and in flow.
Geekiest habit:
PC gaming. When I'm not managing MoneySavingPro, I'll probably be found managing my favorite soccer team on Football Manager.

Sam's quickfire quiz
First cell phone:
The old, old Nokia 5190, aka the Nokia brick. That thing was great!
Loved/hated it because:
Aside from it being indestructible, it was hugely customizable. You could even change the antenna on it so I changed mine to a multi-light antenna so whenever someone called it was like Christmas lights.
Favorite emoji:
😳 I have the tendency to use it a lot because I somehow manage to do or say embarrassing things ALL the time.
Full-stack development; breaking things, making them worse, then fixing them.

Amanda's quickfire quiz
First cell phone:
Nokia 3310 - the "brick" was a necessity since I acquired it during my college years
Loved/hated it because:
eSIMs are the future of the industry, making it easier than ever to switch to the MVNO of your choice. I've already saved myself hundreds.
Favorite emoji:

Julia's quickfire quiz

An ancient Sony Ericsson flip phone - with a velvet zebra-striped cover!
Top money saving hack:

Anna's quickfire quiz
First cell phone:
I don't even remember the model but it was very oversized, had a chunky antenna, and I carried it around in a plastic ziplock bag for safekeeping.
Top money saving hack:
Don't let a tempting introductory offer inadvertently become an expensive monthly subscription. I set reminders for when an offer is about to expire, so I have the chance to review it instead of being caught out.

Stefan's quickfire quiz
First cell phone:
A Samsung one with a rubber back in light blue. You could only save 200 contacts, with limited text messages too. I remember I had to delete people to save new numbers. Great times!
Favorite emoji:
It’s either 👍 or 💯 - I'm always thinking positive!
Top money saving hack:
When I find myself spontaneously wanting to buy something random, I 'buy it my head' and then put that 'spent' money into a separate account. I check into that special account twice a year and find that I have a few hundred dollars in there that would have been clutter in my home by this point. Then that's my budget for birthdays and Christmas sorted!
