Reflection
Reflection:
What was your biggest learning experience throughout this project? Why?
That you don’t just buy things you want you have a budget and things to pay off
What adjustments did you have to make throughout the project to stay within budget and why?
Give things up that I would won’t but couldn’t afford, because I wouldn't stay on budget
How does this compare your initial ideas of beginning adulthood?
I thought that stay on budget was easy and not a lot of work but this showed me it was a lot of math and hard work to stay within budget
