]]> 2019-05-29 04:37:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364230194 tecdiva https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364230304 2019-05-29 04:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364230304 kierstinrextra https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364338684 1.)The most important concept in chapter one was why it is so important to be knowledgeable about finances and how debt and finances affect everyone. The book discusses statistics showing how many people are affected by the choices they make with their money.

2.)Chapter two discusses how and why it is important to be smart financially even at early stages in life. It gives several examples and statistics on college debt and student loans. It talks about good habits such as not letting your spending dictate your saving and how to manage expenses. 

3.)Chapter three discusses why understanding debt is important and how to understand debt. It also talks about how having less debt equals more freedom and gives a few rules to follow to help manage debt. 

The information in the first three chapters is important to my life because finances affect everyone. I can use the principles in the book such as only owning one credit card and being knowledgeable about principal and interest. The book discusses how important it is to make smart financial choices from early on. I can start using these habits and rules now to help me in the future and especially when I have student loans in the near future. ]]> 2019-05-29 13:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364338684 h1radjac https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364338862 1. In chapter one it explained why knowing about personal finance is an important thing in your life. It basically tells you that you need to pay attention to what you lean and also retain the information that you pick up.

2. Chapter two starts to give some real life examples of why personal finance knowledge can be very important. There are a lot of statistics and numbers it shows to back the information it talks about. It also gives you a lot of phrases to remember that could be useful later. In this chapter it also explains how to save up money and why you should save early and save a decent amount so that you can be prepared for the real world once you graduate form college.

3. In chapter three you learn exactly what dept is and why it is important to pay off debts as quickly as possible. It also explains why people could go into debt and when you should know to go into debt if you have to.

4. I can definitely use all the information in these chapters because it is all very important things that you need to know. Like knowing to pay off debts quickly is very important. Also knowing to start saving early and saving a good amount is useful. 

(Idk if I mixed up any information in the chapters. They all kind of blurred together for me.)]]> 2019-05-29 13:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364338862 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364338863 Chapter 1 focused on debt, 43% of American house holds spend more then they earn each year and debt because they did not save enough for retirement so they have to borrow more money.

Chapter 2 focused on college debt and credit card debt and student loans coming out of college are 25,000 and credit card loans are $4,100.

Chapter 3 focused on debt could be a good thing for like a business borrowing money to help get there product started.

4.) The way I could use these first three chapters is start saving now so I don't have a bunch of debt coming out of college and try not to use a credit card and if I do don't miss a payment. 

]]> 2019-05-29 13:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364338863 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364338904 1) Why knowing personal finance and making smart decisions in your life can help you to live the way you want, so that you don't have debt and other financial problems hanging over your head telling you how to live your life. It explains how many Americans live their life poorly and make terrible financial decisions that hurt them in the long run and keep them from living life how they want. 

2) Don't spend as much money on things you don't need, because if you are like the average person, you will not have extra money to spend on extra things in addition to necessities as well as student loans. If you ask do I need it? and if so Why?, then you can greatly increase your chances of living a financially stable life. 

3) Know everything about your debt and and understand how debt works, as well as principal and interest. This will help because almost everybody will have to borrow money at some point in their life for some reason or another, and knowing how much they have to pay, as well as how often can help them to pay it off more efficiently. 

4) I can use the information in the first three chapters to help me make decisions in my own life that are financially smart and keep me living the way I want. The information it gives is very simple common sense information about being smart with your money, know how much you make and how much you have to spend, spend less then you make, and know everything about your debt, but all the information it gives can help anybody live a financially stable life. 

]]> 2019-05-29 13:52:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364338904 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364338995 1. Chapter one talked about what the main premise of the book will be and the importance of financing. You can see this through the title of the chapter, "Why This  Financial Stuff Matters". 

2. In chapter two the most important thing it talks about is what college finances look like. It talks about where college students are financially after they graduate and what their spending looks like. This is important because it lets us know where we will likely be after graduating college. 

3. The most important thing in chapter three was knowing your debt. It is important to know and understand your debt so you know how to handle and deal with it. 

4. I can use the information given to me in the first three chapters by applying it to my current financial life so that I have an early start to a healthy and stable financial life. ]]> 2019-05-29 13:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364338995 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364339026 Chapter 1: The most important concept in Chapter 1 is that personal finance is very important to our every day lives. We use the concepts of personal finance daily. 

Chapter 2: Chapter 2 is about how to plan for life after college. Most of the time, College graduates are in debt for many years. This chapter explains how to save up for, and prepare for, life after college.

Chapter 3: The key concept of this chapter was to explain the reasoning and preparation of debt. Whether it is because of college, buying a house, or even a car. Chapter three shows how to plan for debt.

Personal finance has a huge impact on our lives. Saving for college ahead of time, and for life after, is the key to starting off right. Paying off debts early and not blowing money is huge. Knowing everything you can about financing your life, early, before your life starts, can set up  your future very nicely if done right. ]]> 2019-05-29 13:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364339026 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364339071 Ch 1.)  The most important concept in chapter one is financial importance. The book talk about how every decision has a consequence whether it is good or bad and how everyone is effected by these choices. The book encourages people to spend their money wisely. 
Ch 2.) The most important concept in chapter two is financial debt. The book explains how people may end up in debt and how to prevent debt. 
Ch 3.) The most important concept in chapter three is student loans. The author(s) try to explain how easy it is for young people to end up in debt because of student loans. This message was intended  for all ages though because student debt follows most people for years. 
4. Explain)  I might use the information from the first three chapters in my life when I get a job and start saving for college and a new car. I would like to make sure that I won't go into a lot of debt and be able to live a good life with little to no financial burdens. I would also like to save for retirement one day. I think this book is a good source of information to help people in life with financial mistakes before and after they happen. ]]> 2019-05-29 13:52:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364339071 tecdiva https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364602756 What are the top 3 "take-aways" from the information in Chapters 9 and 9 1/2? 
Why do you suppose the authors created a chapter 9 1/2?
Talk is cheap - DO YOU have the discipline it takes to save WHEN IT MATTERS MOST?

]]> 2019-05-30 12:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364602756 h1radjac https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364627242 1. I think the main things I took away from chapters 9 & 9 1/2 is to start investing now, make sure when to invest what is going on with your money, and to look more into Roth IRA because that can help you earn a lot of money if you start now. 

2. I feel like there is a chapter 9 1/2 because the author felt like the Roth IRA is something that everyone should know about. So, he gave it its own chapter to show how important he thinks it is. 

3. I'm not sure if I have any money to save yet. But, if I did I'm not sure if I could save consistently, and that worries me. All I can do is, when I do start making money,try and force myself into a habit of doing it and hopefully I'll be able to. ]]> 2019-05-30 13:33:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364627242 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364627354 1. Investing in your retirement or just investing in general is a smart thing to do and you should start doing it as early as possible. It is good to invest a stable amount and not to access the money until you retire because there are usually fees that come along with accessing the money early. A Roth IRA is a good thing to invest in because you can access the money completely tax free when you are old enough to retire. 

2. I believe the author created a chapter 9 1/2 because he wanted to better explain different ways of investing, particularly to explain the Roth IRA because it is a very good way to invest. 

3. I believe I have the discipline it takes to save money but I don't have any money to save yet so I'm not sure yet. ]]> 2019-05-30 13:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364627354 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364627386 1. I think that the top three takeaways from chapters 9-9.5 are investing now, putting money into retirement as soon as you can, and not taking money out of your retirement plan until you retire. 

2. I think there was a chapter 9.5 because the information in chapter 9.5 wasn't entirely different from chapter 9, but chapter 9.5 went more into depth about some of the stuff and gave specific examples. 

3. I do think that I have the discipline to save when it matters most. I've grown up around half my life living paycheck to paycheck, so I know how to spend money wisely and the importance of saving money, ]]> 2019-05-30 13:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364627386 kierstinrextra https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364627497 1.) One of the main things I got from chapters 9 through 9 1/2 was that it is important to start saving early. The book shows how much you could save if you start earlier and how it might not seem necessary at the time but you will be thankful later on. 
Another thing I got from these chapters was to start saving from retirement early. Take advantage of your 401K as soon as possible. More people are depending on social security and they aren't contributing back to it. this is not helping our country's debt problem. You can make more money be simply starting sooner. 
Lastly I learned to never take out of your retirement. It might seem tempting but you must keep everything there there. If you take money out it will be difficult to get it back in time. 

2.) I think the authors wrote these chapters to help the reader better understand investing. If people know how to invest and make money then more people will have money. 

3.) I believe I have what it takes to be disciplined with money when it matters. I don't have much money now but i feel I am responsible with what I already have. Sometimes probably like to spend more than I should but when it really matters I am able to take care of my money and use it wisely. ]]> 2019-05-30 13:34:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364627497 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364627689 1.) The top three key points made in chapters 9 and 9 1/2 are one, that you should start saving early. Two, Investing in retirement early is beneficial in the long run. Especially with Roth IRA. And three, When you start investing and saving, give yourself enough money to get on and do the things you need, but still make sure you have a fair amount appointed to savings. 
2.) I think the authors wrote chapters 9 and 9 1/2 to explain to people how important it is to save, and how to do so where you aren't worried about if you have the money now.
3.) It is very hard to discipline yourself truly to saving. I know that many people still love certain luxuries and its hard to give those up. I don't know If I have that discipline all the time, but when it really matters, I will do my best.]]> 2019-05-30 13:35:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364627689 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364628022 1.)The most important concept of chapter 9 was Investing in you future like retirement because you don't want to plan on getting a big check from social security you will need more money.

2.)Chapter 9 1/2 focused on what you can do to start saving for the long run it tells you to open a ROTH IRA account because you can collect interest on that money and then pull it out when you retire tax free and it also tells you to save each month and start collecting interest off what you are investing.

3.) It is very hard to discipline yourself into saving for the future because you have money right now and you know you will have money later on but you need to start saving now to prevent not having enough money in the future.

These three suggestions are beneficial for the rest of your life because saving early can make you feel comfort in case of emergency, saving for retirement early can leave you with more money after retirement, and never take out of retirement because you will have less money in the future or you will might have to keep working. I think the author created chapters 9 and 9 1/2 because he wanted to give a better understanding of investment and why it is so vital to save. I think that I do have the discipline to save when it matters most because I already save all the time. ]]> 2019-05-30 13:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364629388 kierstinrextra https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364884100 1.) The main idea of Chapter 7 is the importance of having a steady paycheck. The book talks about how have any kind of paycheck is better than nothing. It also talks about why you should never pass up a job because it is too easy or you feel above it. You should not wait for the perfect job opportunity, instead try to make money now while you wait. 
2.) One thing that I can do now is get a job. Even a minimum wage job is better than not have any kind of steady income. 
Another ting I can do now is weigh my needs and wants. I can look at how important the things I am spending money on are. 
3.) This upcoming year I can work to keep a steady job and save my money.I can also be smart in how I use that money and not spend it on things I do not need. 
4.) After high school I can use my money in the best ways. When I am paying for my own house I can decide if I really need things like cable TV or fancy decorations. 
5.) I will find motivation by constantly reminding myself of my goals. If my goal is to pay back my student debt then maybe I don't need a new car or nice clothes. I can ask myself what is more important to me so I am able to spend my money wisely.

]]> 2019-05-31 13:10:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364884100 h1radjac https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364884354 1. Chapter 7 is all about not waiting for job opportunities you'd like, but seeking any you can get right now. You need to making money and the book says "any paycheck is better than no paycheck." It also talks about taking responsibility financially  and to weigh your wants and needs to figure out what is most important.

2. There isn't really anything I can do right now that relates to this chapter. Except maybe weighing my wants and needs and just getting getting into that mindset. 

3. In a year I will hopefully be  able to afford a car and be able to get I job. I will relate to the chapter because I have a job and am not waiting for a job I would really want. I also hope that I will take responsibility for my financial security and realize that it is up to me. 

4. After high school hopefully I can get a job with some extra money being made and I don't immediately start living pay check to paycheck. This will be very helpful because the book said 70% of people in the United States live paycheck to paycheck.  

5. I think to find the motivation to follow through with all this will have to come from me. I think that if I sit down and think about it for a long, long time, I will be able to harness my full power and finally became financially responsible. It will be like a new found super power I have but the only person I can save is myself.]]> 2019-05-31 13:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364884354 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364884439 1) The main idea of chapter 7 is to get a job and get to where you are earning a steady paycheck to live off of while you are waiting for your "better opportunities". Even if you aren't making very much money off of that job, any money that you make is better then making no money at all. It talks about it being your responsibility to know when you are having trouble financially and selling things if you need to in order to get by a little bit longer.
2) Right now I could probably get a job to start earning income while I wait for college. I could also start saving up after this and start planning even if it is a very simple plan right now. 
3) I could still get a job during high school, however I would be getting closer to graduating so I will be able to plan out my future of going to college much better then I can right now. 
4) After high school, I will be in college, which will leave me with much more time to get a job, as well as planning out my college path and what classes I would take and what major I would pursue. Also, I could really start planning and budgeting by then because I will be living alone and will need to do that in order to help myself financially.
5) I will find the motivation to do these things by remembering past mistakes I have seen people make and just not wanting to follow in the same path that they did. ]]> 2019-05-31 13:11:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364884439 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364884588 1. The main idea of chapter seven was that if you budget and spend your money wisely like Daliso, you can be successful like him. Also, you should take any job that you can as soon as you can so you start saving up money instead of waiting for "the right job". 

2. One thing I can do is start saving up more money, because I already have a job. Another thing I can do is try not to spend so much on wants and focus on needs. 

3. Something I can do this year is just to continue to save up money and continue to work hard at work to possibly get a raise. Another thing I could do is not burrow money from people so that I am not in so much debt to start out with.

4. After graduating high school I can keep my job to continue to have a steady income and continue to save up. Another thing I could do is ration myself on certain things so I don't waste my money buying more than I need. I can motive myself by telling myself that I need the money for college and paying off debt quickly. ]]> 2019-05-31 13:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364884588 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364884711 1.) The big message in chapter 7 would  have to be pay your debt of early and building financial security for the future and any job is better then no job.

2.) 2 things that I can do to relate to this chapter are getting a job now even if I don't like what I'm doing and saving a percentage from every paycheck to plan for the future.

3.) 2 things I can do after graduating high school is get a job to pay off any college debt or any other debt I have and if I buy a house make sure I get stuff that I need not stuff that I want like cable television or two cars to cut back on how much I have to pay off every month.

4.) How will I find the motivation well I will remember that if I don't spend the money on cable television I could maybe save that money and use it to go on a vacation that would be the motivation to remember to save and only spend money on thing that I need not want.]]> 2019-05-31 13:12:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364884711 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364885162 1.) The big message in chapter seven is  to take care of your future starting now.
 2.)A couple of things I can do now is get a job and save money.
 3.) This year I can apply for jobs and talk to someone at the bank about getting an account  set up for myself and talk to them about saving instead of taking my savings out when I am 18.
 4.) Two things I can do after I graduate is make smart purchases so that I can buy a house or pay off college faster and I can also save money out of every paycheck. I can cut back on things I don't need such as Starbucks or a TV.
5.) I will find the motivation to discipline myself with the help of people around me. My parents, religion, and friends encourage me to save my money. I also look at society around me today and as a reminder to not be like them. ]]> 2019-05-31 13:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364885162 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364885198 1.) Chapter seven started out with a story about a man who moved to America with a small amount of $7.50. He ended up creating a life for himself and getting married. He had four very successful children. The book explains how even starting out with that small amount, you can build on top of it to be successful. 
2.) Two things that I can start doing now that relate to the chapter are one, getting a job, because any job is better than no job. And two, I can begin disciplining myself now to give up my wants and focus on my needs first. If I get in that habit now, then i will hopefully continue that habit in the future. 
3.) Two things that I can do within the next year are one, start putting a percentage (even if it is low) of every paycheck into a savings account. Another thing is beginning to look into scholarships and focusing on those needs before I waste that time with friends or other alternatives. 
4.) One of two things I can do after high school that relate to this chapter is to focus on college. The other is to probably look into a higher paying job to pay off any college debt. (of course I will stay with the current job until I know I have been accepted to the other.)
5.) My motivation for getting all of this done and disciplining myself is the kind of future that I want. I don't want to be bad off in the future and i want to be smart with my money. ]]> 2019-05-31 13:14:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/364885198 tecdiva https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/365118004 1.

1. There is no maximum payment.
2. It will greatly reduce the amount of interest you will pay on the loan. 
3. It will not affect my financial planning for post-secondary education because I wasn't planning on taking out a loan for college. 

Chapter 5
1. You can have an emergency line of getting money to pay for something that you may not have the money for at the time plus you can get a higher credit score. 
2. I found the example very interesting.
3. Because it can help you get a higher credit score so it is easier to buy things in the future. 
4. I learned that you should pay off higher interest rates. 

Chapter 6

1.) As a candidate I think I did a pretty good job. I felt nervous, at first, but as I kept going through the interview I  realized I was having a normal conversation about my skill and the company. I though it would be hard to come up with answers to questions on the spot, but it wasn't that difficult. 
2.) As a manager I think that I did a good job. I like asking questions and listening to others answer them. I felt like I got to know people better when I was the manager asking questions. I also thought being manager was a lot less nerve racking because I didn't have to answer as many questions.
3.) Writing my questions as an interviewer impacted my performance as a candidate by preparing me for the type of questions I will be asked.  I went over multiple questions in my head and analyzed answers to them. 
4.) I think what I would do differently next time is make better I contact because when I am at a loss for words I tend to look away and find a focus point to think. I also think that I should take a shorter time to answer questions and not pause as much when thinking. 
5.) Some advice I would give future students engaging in this activity is to take a deep breath, focus and pay attention to what is being asked and said, and be confident with not only your words, but your body language. 
6.) Practicing the interview process is important because people need jobs to live. Getting the job and making a first impression is everything. People need to be aware of the process to get a job and know how it is properly conducted so that they get hired. ]]> 2019-06-13 16:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367442225 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367442226 2019-06-13 16:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367442226 kierstinrextra https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367442663 1.I feel like I did well as a candidate. I could have been less nervous and shared more. I also could have spoke more fluently but I think that was just a part of my nervousness. 
2. I feel like I did really well as an interviewer. I feel like I asked good follow up questions and stayed professional. 
3. Writing questions I learned what an interviewer is looking for. When I was asked a question I could think about what exactly is an interviewer looking for and then give the best possible answer to their question.
4. I would definitely prepare even more. I would want to know more about the company and the job I was applying for.
5. I would tell future students to not be so nervous and to act confident. Rehearse! Rehearse! Rehearse!
6. It is really important to practice for an interview because it helps you have answers prepared. When you are expecting some of the questions it helps you know what you are going to say and makes answering similar questions easier. ]]> 2019-06-13 16:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367442663 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367442714 1. I did well as a candidate. I performed my elevator speech pretty well and answered questions very well. 
2. I did very well as a manager. I asked great questions, kept very professional, as well as responded well to answers with body language. 
3. It helped a lot because we had ideas about the kinds of questions to be expecting. 
4. Next time I would focus on my elevator speech to make it as good of a first impression as I can because that is almost always going to be the true first impression that the employer has.
5. Work on things required for the interview like the cover letter and resume from the start and make sure they are as good as they can be so that you can spend your time planning your questions and answers when you get the trio interview assignment. 
6. It helps prepare you for when you have real interviews to get jobs that will impact your life. Practicing interviews gets you prepared for the types of questions that you will receive during a real interview and will help prepare you to ask your employer questions about the job. ]]> 2019-06-13 16:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367442714 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367442815 Interview Trio reflection
1. I think I did really well as a candidate. I as really nervous as I went in, but once the process started I was calmed down. I think i was really fluid with my answers and I asked questions really well. 
2. As a manager I did very well. I asked no yes or no questions and when the applicant asked me about the company I felt as though I had the answers already ready. 
3. It impacted my performance because when I ask my own questions I answer them myself. Me answering them gave me an idea about how the company worked or how I thought it worked. 
4. Next time I would spend more time preparing and thinking about what to say. I think that would really help my nerves calm down. I would also do more research on the company to answer even more fluently. 
5. Advice I would give future students is to make sure you are mentally prepared and to be yourself. Why would you want to work somewhere if couldn't be yourself. 
6. Practicing the interview process is very important because it just helps you prepare. I am really glad I got the opportunity to try it before I actually did a real interview because I would have been a nervous wreck. ]]> 2019-06-13 16:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367442815 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367443170 2019-06-13 16:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367443170 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367443171 2019-06-13 16:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367443171 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367443173 I think I did good as a candidate.

As a candidate I though I did pretty decent for never being interviewed before. I was nervous for a split second at first, and then I thought "well whatever happens happens."
2. As the manager interviewing, I felt like I did good, but I could have been better by asking more thought intriguing questions. 
3. Writing the questions as an interviewer beforehand kind of prepared me for the questions I would be asked as a candidate. 
4. Next time I will ask more in depth questions.
5. Some advice I have for future students in this activity, is one, to just relax and think of it as a normal conversation. That will take off more of the stress. Also, try to mentally prepare yourself the night before. Get everything set out on what to wear, make sure your car (if you're driving) doesn't have any potential problem causing issues, and practice asking and answering questions. 
6. Practicing the interview process is so important because it prepares and informs you on how to properly conduct, or participate in an interview process. ]]> 2019-06-13 16:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367443229 https://padlet.com/tecdiva/vzdlej2fnmml/wish/367445675 Chapter 10:
1.The most important idea in chapter 10 is to make good decisions.
Chapter 11:
1. Saving is not easy because It's hard to sacrifice certain things. It will benefit you in the long run though.
2. A sample budget is so important because It helps plan out how much money you can spend on certain things after you take out all the expenses.
3. "there is no such thing as bad weather, you just have to wear the right clothes." This relates to budgeting and saving because there is no such thing as running out of money. Or no reason to anyways. you just have to plan accordingly and set up a budget.
4. If I don't have the money, then I shouldn't spend it. But one way I could make sure I DO have it is by saving and budgeting.
Chapter 12:
1. Homeownership is part of my american dream. It is always a stress reliever to know that your house is paid off and its YOURS.
2 .Owning a home is not for everyone. Some things you have to take into consideration is your budget, how much money you are willing to set aside for emergencies pertaining to the house. Your salary. The condition of the house. if you have a stable job etc.
3. You shouldn't take an equity loan to the super bowl because It is NEVER a good idea to put your house, and your FAMILY'S home, for a chance at the super bowl.
Chapter 13:
1. When your older, you work when you want to, not when you have to. As you get older, you shouldn't have to work, unless you really want to that is. then you get more money for dong something you want to do. Win-Win
2. YOU are responsible for your financial future
3. $1 will today will not be worth $1 tomorrow. This is because of Inflation.
4. The rule of 72 impacts your financial planning because prices are always raising, so money is always losing its value. In the future, you will need more to buy things, as inflation occurs.
