Students should learn the basics about finding their first job based on the college or training they chose.

MOVING TO YOUR NEW CITY

At your graduation party, your friends and family got together and gave you $2000 in cash as a gift to get you started.  Add these funds to your Personal Monthly Budget, and use it to go shopping for some basic items you will need to survive.  You must have a plan to move to your new city, and once there, figure out how you will get to work, get around town, and do your shopping.  Tomorrow we will be creating maps of the area using digital tools, today you need to focus on shopping for the basic items you will need to start your life in this new area.

Now you need to furnish your apartment to live in. Find a list of the following sources, and add it to your shopping list page.

1. Transportation around town: (Bike, Car, Public Transportation, Walk, etc.)

2. Basic Furniture: Bed, Couch, Table & Chairs, Lamps, Desk, Lights, TV, Stereo, Dresser, Computer, and other major items:

3. Household Goods: Dishes, Pots&Pans, Glassware, Silverware, Towels, Sheets, Blankets, Pillows, Plants, etc.:

List each item on the shopping list sheet of your SPREADSHEET. You must keep track of everywhere online you shop and enter your spending in your checkbook ledger.  Add links to each product you plan to buy, total the cost of your purchases and add it to your overall budget. All of your spending will be tracked on this ledger for the month. Credits are deposits and Debits are spending/checks etc.


ESSENTIAL QUESTION(S)
What are some of the decisions I will make to have basic financial stability?

What items do I need to buy to survive, and what is not necessary.  Based on the selection of my apartment, where can I go to buy these items, and how much will they cost.
