Lesson Learned

Throughout this project I learned the importance of budgeting and having patience. Though the “challenge” that I set for myself didn’t include a price cap, going through the online store and buying the different required components showed me that if I were to do this in real life I would have to be very meticulous with my spending as I had already spent roughly $2000 just on the first 5 components of my computer. Additionally, the process of looking for the required components taught me the value of patience. When looking for a specific component on an online store it is very easy to just click on the first few items that appear, however, by being patient and taking the time to look through the details / descriptions of all your different options you can find the component that will best suit your financial and personal needs.
