Reflection (Step 5)::
Reflection (Step 5): My budget is a realistic amount of money to earn over a time period such as Summer Break if I worked for 3 hours a day for $20. This would mean I would have to work about 43 days to reach my budget. After completing steps 1-4 I would not have changed any items because I would have redo various calculations. This project has helped me to realize many things about the cost of certain materials. First, that instead of earning $20 for mowing lawns for 3 hours, I would rather ask for $20 per lawn. By doing this I could probably reach my budget in half the time. Second, that most XBOXlive is actually quite expensive. Third, that the cleats I want cost somewhat of a significant amount of money. Fourth, that if I ever spend even a bit of this money along the way of raising this budget, then I have to work really hard and make up for it. I believe I could think of much better ways of spending this money, however there isn’t too much stuff that I could think of that isn’t on the list that I would want.
