Post date: Jan 29, 2016 3:51:32 PM
Friday 2/12 Journal - Assume that you'll make $30,000 a year (before taxes). What do you think your net income will be (after taxes)? How much of that money should you spend on each of these expenses: housing, transportation, savings? Explain your reasoning for each.
Thursday 2/11 Journal - Write 7-10 sentences detailing the things that you can do over the next year to make yourself as "hire-able" as possible.
Wednesday 2/10 Journal - Write 7-10 sentences about your apartment search process (from yesterday). Were you able to find a place that could meet your needs on your budget? Why or why not?
Tuesday 2/9 Journal - If you had $800 a month to spend on housing, where would you live? What would you have to pay for on a monthly basis? Describe where you would like to live in detail. (7-10 sentences)
Tuesday Classwork - Work with the person at your table (your new roommate) to find an apartment that you could rent (on zillow.com) that would fit within your $800 per person budget. Remember to include your monthly utilities in your budget. Prepare to present your new apartment to the class. (Presentations are scheduled for the end of class on Wednesday)
Your presentation should be done on a google slides (google's version of powerpoint) and shared with jcotter@assabet.org
Your presentation should have 4 slides:
1) picture of your place (or link to picture that you will show us), price, and any other interesting or relevant information
2) other expenses that you will have to pay (and how much each will cost)
3) a list of "pros and cons"
4) a SMART goal of how you will pay for your living expenses each month
