Homework: Personal budget

Date assigned
Wednesday, April 3


Assignment

1) Track your personal income and ALL of your expenses for the next two weeks.

2) Categorize your expenses (food, recreation, transportation, personal care, etc.)

3) Indicate which expenses you think are necessary and which you think are optional.

4) Indicate which expenses are variable and which expenses are stable.


Track ALL of your expenses.  Keep a piece of paper in your pocket, keep all of your receipts, or better yet use your phone keep track.

I encourage you to create a budget spreadsheet on Google Docs (link here).  If you need help learning how to do this, please come talk to me at lunch, during tutorial, or after school.  This is especially helpful if you have a Google Docs (also called Google Drive) app on your phone.

You may also do it by hand if you want.


Due date
Wednesday, April 17
