Project Description:

Can you put dollars and sense together? View students' budget research, calculations and graphing.

After choosing a desired profession and using www.salary.com to find and calculate the average monthly salary, students budget for their monthly expenses (rent, food, travel, utilities, fun/entertainment, emergency). Students save the remainder of their salary, and track their savings over time. They then determine how long it will take to make a down payment on a car or home, or take a family vacation.
