a.) What struggles did you find while creating this budget sheet?
While creating this budget sheet I found it was extremely difficult to get what I wanted for the price of only $75.00. I had to eliminate a few things that I have taken for granted like sweets because if I had to spend my money somewhere, I’d rather it be something nutritious.
b.) Why is it important to try and find the meaning behind creating a budget for yourself when you go shopping?
This is important because creating a list beforehand helps eliminate things you don’t need. Also, while in the store you know exactly what you need for your minimal budget.
c.) Do you think that you have more of an understanding as to how expensive food can be?
Yes, I think now I understand that when I’m on my own it won’t be as easy as I think. Something as simple as food can take so much more money than I originally anticipated.
d.) Did you enjoy this project and why?
I enjoyed this project because it was very realistic. Especially because I will be at college and doing my own shopping in just a few short years. To think I will have to budget my money like this was a surprise to me and I’m glad I know now.
