transition seminar update
what have we been up to? Week of Jun 3, 2022
Lesson on budgets
we talked about the following things:
-gross salary/net salary/deductions
-fixed expenses ( things we need) like rent, car, insurance, food
-variable expenses ( things you want) like new shoes, going out to eat, buying a video game
Then we looked at how much money these people would have left over every month.
We talked about people who participate in some training after high school can make more money than people who do not. People who get their high school diplomas earn more money than those who don't.
Next, we created our own budgets with a profession that students chose. Students made a list of fixed and variable expenses, then they figured out how much money they would have left at the end of every month.
This would make great dinner conversation!
