49th CLASS - GROUP 02 - GUEST SPEAKER AND WORKSHOP 2: BUDGETING

Today:
Mr. Dore returned to lead us through the second Jeunes Entreprises workshop: Budgeting.
If you missed class, make sure you grab your book and complete p. 7-9.
Congrats to those of you who won prizes!

Key things to remember from our discussion, especially if you missed out today:
-We do not always know the price of things, even if we buy those things often.
-Budgeting is important to make sure we have enough money to survive on our own.
-It is easy to think we have enough money for everything, when we really may not have enough.
-We have less money for the things we may want working jobs that require less education.
That is one of the main reasons why being successful in high school is so important if you plan on being able to pay for the things you wanted in your first budget you worked out.
