Financial Planning

 Financial Plan Assignment-  Part of being an adult is having to be responsible for your own finances.  Some of you may already have jobs, some of you may get an allowance, others are fortunate (or unfortunate) to have the bank of mom and dad to help you out. In this assignment, you are going to learn and try and figure out your finances to help create a budget. Even if your parents cover your costs, it's important to see and get an understanding and appreciation on how much LIFE costs. For this assignment, please budget your first year after high school.

• Excel Financial Plan - This would be the easiest and preferred file to use

• PDF Financial Plan - If you like to manually do math

• Average Expenses - Check out this document for some general average expense amounts

Financial Plan Questions-  After you have created your financial plan for your first year after high school, please answer the questions. 

Credit Card Assignment-  Everyone will have a credit card or 2 or more in their lives for a variety of reasons.  When you are younger, the main reason to get a card is to build 'credit', which is important if you want to take a loan out for a car or to get a mortgage. The problem is lots of people can get sucked into a trap and start going into debt.
