PMB Step 9: Final Changes MP4 S2 17-18

Here are the final changes to your Family Monthly Budget. Please record the changes and make sure you SHARE your both your PMB Worksheet (Google Doc) and your PMB Budget (Google Sheets) with me (hscribner@ccs.us) for credit.  I will review your budget and comment on them right away. This will be a major part of the grade for this marking period:

MAKE THE FINAL FOLLOWING CHANGES TO YOUR BUDGET  

1. Add 5 pints of your favorite ice-cream to your grocery bill for the month
2. Add $150 to your budget for home repair
3. Add a Doctor’s visit to your budget ($20 copay)
4. If you did not add a vehicle to your initial budget, you need to find a car and insurance.
5. Get a pet: dog, cat, fish, snake, whatever….but budget for the animal, veterinarian and care products.
6. You are taking a class at a local college….add $425 for tuition and $125 for books.
7. You went to the movies with your niece/nephew/child/etc…..add enough to cover popcorn and tickets.
8. You took first prize in a writing contest….add $100
9. Add $50 per month for an increase in cell phone service
10. Find a bicycle for fun and add the cost to your budget
11. You went to the mall to shop for clothes… add $125.
12. You won the lottery……$150…scratch off… add to your budget
13. Your mom’s birthday is coming up…get her a gift….add it
14. You utility bills are 10% higher than you budgeted for…..add it

Don't forget to estimate your monthly grocery budget by multiplying your weekly grocery shopping plus your fast food budget by four. Add those values to your budget as well.

Add all of the above changes to your budget sheet somewhere appropriate (your choice). Make sure your shopping lists are correct and complete. Make sure that your entries are complete for groceries and eating out. Finally, please send me an email stating your budget is complete and ready to be checked. 

 Next week you will be creating a Google Slides Presentation showing your budget, explaining how you chose the city and career you picked, describing the items you bought and how you live, and showing pictures of the new city, apartment, and other items.
