Transitioning into BUYING A CAR!

The benefits of having a car is that it can take you where ever you need to go. Also you can take people with you to your destination. It also protects you from rain and bad wether. You are able to go more in distance than you might would normally and can hear music along the way. The cons of owning a car is having to pay for it, maintains the car, buying gas, insurance, basically you have to spend a lot of money In Order to keep it.  A new car is nice bc it has not been used, a used car sometime has bugs and you have to pay to get them fixed in the end you might end up paying the same price. It all depends on how you get the car.

Reasons You Need a Budget

You need a budget to:
Save money.
Afford bills.
Spend only on what you need and then figure out whether you would like save the extra cash or spend it on entertainment.
It also helps keep track of all the money you spend bc you write it down so you won't exceed your budget.

Earth Day!

Shopping locally mean purchasing things from stores that are run by residence of the area. They live here and buy things from others which makes the money stay local. Local delis, restaurants, etc.

 When there are local businesses around the money goes into the community by taxes as we'll as when one purchases things or donates money to the local fire department. If you stay local the money will too, instead of buying supplies or food from a far you can get it from your local farmers market and they money spent will help grow more and more which becomes a cycle.

If you buy things locally you help the environment because the food doesn't have to travel long distance wasting gas and polluting the air. Also if the food is grown right with no pesticides it also is helpful. If we all just got our things next door it would be less costly and more fresh and nourishes your body.

The Final Chapter!

I worked a lot, actually all week. I went to Santa Cruz on my day off but it was a bust due to numerous things but I enjoyed it a bit. I loved sleeping in that's for sure bc I haven't slept in, in months. As we approach the end of the school year, I look forward to graduating and just being done with high school, I look forward to that summer vacation mostly. I want to finish school on a good note so, I'm gonna try my best from here on out. I just want to be enrolled in college and be for sure going so I can stop worrying about it.

Your Life Situation Card and A Budget

I was very surprised with the monthly income it really didn't cover anything! I don't think that budget in Redwood city can be survivable. A month I would have $1,504 and the apartment are about $1000. Plus we would have to put down a deposit as well as personal expenses and food expenses. The money would not be enough. Annual Gross income was $21,000 I think about 35,000 will cut it and be realistic to live in this area.

With the break down it showed how much we really spend. I feel like mandatory. Bills are most important like rent, food expenses, insures, then entertainment is last. We would have to be extremely budgeted and eat food that was at a lower price.

We couldn't afford anywhere in the Bay Area. We could barely afford renting and apartment to we looked for studios or rooms and it was still about $1000. The pros of renting the utility bills are included with the rent so you save your self some money, don't have to fix up home, pay property taxes. Also the deposit kills you because that's the only way you can buy or get the home, room, etc. because it over $1000.

Wrapping Up Yesterday's Discussion

• Analyze the importance of an education
• Discuss what you believe the state's role in that process should be
• Use very specific statistics to further your argument
• Ensure your paragraph would be motivating to yourself, your neighbor or anyone else moving forward in their academic career
• Within this paragraph I would also encourage you to use first hand examples including:
• your personal experiences and/or those of people you know and how their education (or lack thereof) has affected their daily lives.
• Your thoughts on how a free education may change one's outlook on furthering their education as we move forward.  
• This final paragraph should be thorough, thoughtful and should also include some statistics from the articles you read that strengthen your argument.

Education is extremely important especially today's world, if your educated you have a higher chance of getting a good paying job then you would without one. From seeing what happens first had when you don't have an education
