So Many Decisons!
By Joshua Hales
Defining and Estimating
First, I defined the decision. I figured out that I was going to spend money and buy either Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, or Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. Second, I estimated the resources available. The resources I had were: A GameStop and Walmart near me, $60, transportation (a parent to drive me), and knowledge to help me decide.
Considering and Gathering
Next, I considered alternatives. I could either buy Assassin’s Creed or Walking Dead, and go to either GameStop or Walmart to get the one of them. I had to then gather information. I found out that Walking Dead at GameStop is $50, and at Walmart it’s $45. Assassin’s Creed is $60 at GameStop, and $55 at Walmart. Although, GameStop has a money back guarantee, and Walmart doesn’t. Also, Assassin’s Creed got a 5 star rating, and Walking Dead got a 4 star rating.

Deciding and Evaluating
My Conclusions
That’s how I made my great decision and how my model helped me. When I’m using my own money, I figure out that I care more about my decision opposed to my parents buying it for me. If I didn’t have this model, I might not be able to make the choices I end up wanting.
