​     Students, you will complete the following today:

1.  There will be two documents in your folder.  One,  "Minimum Wage Budget" I have already graded and the other "Resume Job Budget".   Thanks! 

We explored what it would take to live on a fixed budget.  We did this with a monthly budget for a minimum wage earner and then your salary based on the job that you put on your resume.  We used minimum wage ($12.00/Hr) and now the amount you would make if you got the job from your resume.


Run the below Salary Based Budget for your "Resume Job Budget" according to the instructions given on the link.  Make a copy of their budget.
