I like buying the house and looking for a house. Paying bills and budgeting seems stressful.

So far this unit, I've really enjoyed being able to calculate every thing and see how much of your income goes into what part of living. I knew there was a lot of money that you weren't able to buy cool things, but I forgot about a lot of monthly expenses. This didn't really apply to me, considering I was a soccer player, but if i had a different salary, I think that worrying about if you have enough money for your expenses would defintely be stressful to me. -Tiffany Scott
ReplyDeleteSo far in our JA unit, I like the stocks the best. I thing the most complicated thing in JA is having a budget. Altogether, I have learned a lot and am exited for the field trip on Thursday.

My favorite part of the JA unit was finding a house and a car because that was fun and not that hard. I want to learn more about how to budget in case of emergencies or if something unexpected happens. The unit only got confusing when some of the numbers just got mixed up. -Brian Tran
ReplyDeletethe part of JA that i have defiantly liked the most might have be that im a soccer player and i get a LOT of money...... Haha just kidding(even though its still a good part). i think i like the fact that we get to pick our house and our car. i mean that was fun. just looking at places that you could live= EXCITING. mostly because all the houses we looked at were really cool and in a hot climate. i would like to learn more about stocks because that is one of the most confusing things i have ever known. it might have been the most stressful-est thing too. i bet even after the field trip i wont get it. another more stressful part was seeing all the money you worked hard to make was spent clothes and groceries and insurance. And you work so hard too.
ReplyDeleteI think as kids we take for granite that everything is paid for. We go out to eat and we dont pay we just leave the parents have to mantain a budget for us. The most confusing part of JA is stocks because I dont get how you can value a company and stocks per share for $30 what????? -Cody Hughes
ReplyDeleteI liked how the unit was self paced, it made me be more aware of what im doing. the most stressful part of adult life is making sure you enjoy the most of life without going bankrupt.

I think that the managing and budgeting stuff seems the most stressful because you dont have an unlimited amount of money. I have liked picking out my car and doing research so far. Austin Regis
ReplyDeleteThe part of the unit that I liked the most was choosing the houses. I would like to learn more about the mortgage payments. The food section has been a bit confusing since I didn't know how much I needed to buy of the groceries. The mortgage bills seem most stressful to me because you have to find out the loan amount, the utiltiy bills, and the down payment. Lisa Young
ReplyDeleteI have liked tracking our stocks the most interesting. Finding foods and clothes has been difficult for me. Luke Frey

I liked tracking stocks, looking for houses, and buying a vehicle. The JA unit was fun a learning about finance.

I liked when you had the ability to pick where you want to live and what kind of car you will have etc.. The hardest part was probably finding a house in a good price range.

My favorite part of this unit has been how the book really just walks you through the process of living on your own. Whats really helped me was how it tells you how to divide your money.The hardest part for me has been staying on our budget for the clothing and food.-Bailey Knesal
ReplyDeleteI liked buying a car the most. I liked it because i was able to pick the car I've always wanted. The most confusing was the stocks because even though I'm in advanced math there was just so many numbers to multiply and stuff.

i really just want to learn about how to make money when i am older. because i dont want to be broke because that would suck. also i want to be amazingly rich cause who doesnt.

The part i like the most about the unit was finding the house and cars because it was cool seeing which house you could and couldn't have. id like to learn more about playing your bills. The confusing part was the grocery list because you had to write what groceries would be good for you based on the amount of money you make. The stressful part of adulthood is paying bills. You have this bill then when you think your done you have to pay off this bill. The thing i liked about the field trip was just going into each different place and buying different things, but also having a "credit" card. I didn't like how some things made you go back and forth to the bank to pay the loan.

I liked buying a car the most in that Ja unit. I would like to learn more about saving my money. I think every thing was clear and straight farward. To find a job after college will be the most stressful. It was a great experience and the thing I didn't Like so much was that it was so long MAXCHERVETS
ReplyDeletemy favorite part of the unit was the budgeting and calculations. My favorite part of the trip was the interactivity.
ReplyDeletei liked the part of the feild trip when we got to go around and find the items we needed. i did not like all the talking the people did and i also did not like all the things we needed to write to find our money. Zac Jeter
