Good Morning,
Open Microsoft Excel 2007. Click the Windows Button and Select NEW. In the search box type "budget" and then select the "Monthly Family Budget". Make sure it matches the one on the following website:
You could also go to the website and download it from me.
Each Day you will have to save changes and email it to yourself. You can avoid emailing it by saving to a flash drive. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT YOUR COPY WILL STAY ON THE SYSTEM YOU ARE WORKING ON HERE IN CLASS. Final budgets will be due Friday, December 16th at the end of class.
On the first page you will notice, it is a template for a family budget. Today you will be entering your basic startup information. (See Class Example On Screen) You have a job in the Philadelphia Area. The job cards are being distributed. You must enter your information, find housing near your job, work out transportation, utilities and other information. Over the next few days you will get changes to your plan and have to adjust your budget to reflect the changes. Final budgets will be graded. Please complete the changes and email the final budgets to me on time (Friday).
TODAY: Email your budget to me as an attachment. I will send you back your next instructions for tomorrow. Anyone not following along, or if you miss a class, can catch up with a daily look at this blog for instructions.
Grading is as follows: Initial Budget Setup = 30 points
Changes Completed = 30 points
Final Presentation = 40 points
Final Presentations will need to include explanations to the class of where you live, what you spent money on, and how you saved and can tell the difference between expenses and discretionary income.
Good Luck!!
MR. S
