Project 1 - Due Thursday, Feb 17.
Create two budgets -
 * one that might work if you decide to work after high school and move out on your own,
 * one that might work if you go to school after you graduate - you can choose if you live at home or not).

Your results can be in either a Word or Excel document (if your numbers are web based you may have to take a screen shot and paste it into Word or Excel). Save this to your documents to be handed in later. You will also have to do some searching for prices/costs that you need to know for your budget.

Your document should include:
A Title Your name

At the end or the beginning give an explanation of which budget is most likely the onw you might use and why you think that might be teh case. This can be text, audio or video.

Each budget should have a section for:

 * An explanation of your assumptinos and your plan. For example you might explain that you think you will start out working for minimum wage at 40 hours per week (don't forget those deductions!!), and that you will be sharing an apartment with a friend.
 * Give the location of where you will live and whether you will drive a car or walk, bike and bus. explain why you chose this location.
 * If you buy a car, give the year model and price (you can assume that it is safetied and that you only have to pay insurance oil and gas for the year).
 * Your budget
 * A basic description of your basic choices and perhaps some of the unique or different parts of your budget/planning. This can be written, audio or video, or something else.
 * A resource list which lists all the web sites, and other sources you used (copy and paste them in as you go along)
