I want to adopt a child and be a foster care parent. I want a rescue dog. 
I think it costs $1 million dollars to raise a child for a life time I'm assuming. A wedding can cost from $5,000 to $50,000. ]]> 2018-05-07 12:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ladycortes32/ansiw06x5eg4/wish/258497970 ladycortes32 https://padlet.com/ladycortes32/ansiw06x5eg4/wish/258499622 Water bill - $50

Then take that number and divide by 12. This number is your monthly take home. Next subtract the following numbers: 400 - 268 -228- 176-300-1300 -100= This number is what is left for retirement or savings or whatever life throes you way. Reflect on what you learned doing this project. Is there anything you would change?]]> 2018-05-10 12:52:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ladycortes32/ansiw06x5eg4/wish/259590190 ladycortes32 https://padlet.com/ladycortes32/ansiw06x5eg4/wish/259599829 72,820 * .20 = 14,564
72,820 - 14,564 = 58,256/12 = 4,854.667
4,854.667 - 2,772 = 2,082.667
From this project I learned that it is important to budget and learn how to manage money. With a higher income, comes higher responsibilities. Hopefully in the future I can learn to save my money and put it towards investments that'll help me in the long run. ]]> 2018-05-10 13:15:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ladycortes32/ansiw06x5eg4/wish/259599829
