Extra Credit 2.........You're an Adult Now!
You will gain from this project "real world" exposure to the "adult facts of life." You will examine what it takes to live on your own and some of the expenses that you will incur. This will give you important exposure to these real-life skills, especially for seniors who have "pipe dreams" about "living in style." You'll find this program both fun and relevant. You will reflect upon how much money is needed to live in the lifestyle you choose. You also learn to make concessions in life as adults often do (i.e., "I can afford more in rent if I live in a city that has public transportation").
Have fun with this project.......be flexible and make concessions. After you are finished, please e-mail your work to your teacher. Please use Microsoft Word and Excel. Tutorial link for Excel: http://www.usd.edu/trio/tut/excel/
