Reflection
What was the biggest learning experience throughout the project?
I figured out that being an adult is not as easy as I thought. You really have to plan out what you are going to do with your money especially in this economy. Now everything revolves around money.
What adjustments did i have to make to stay within budget?
I didn't have to change anything but I did make sure that I bought a semi-cheap house and car. When I did calculate how much money I had left and I had $1,642.84 remaining.
How does this compare to my initial idea of beginning adulthood?
Well calculating everything takes a lot longer than I thought it would. I do think that when I am an actual adult I will find it hard to keep track and control my money.
