Many teens can’t wait to get out on their own so they can make their own decisions about what they do and what they spend money on. But they have never considered all the expenses that entails. Do them a favor and gently wake them up to how much all those things cost, starting with how much is withheld from every paycheck!

• Designed for high school students, or anyone who may never have considered the expenses of living on their own.
• Can be completed by spending an average of about an hour for each of the thirteen modules. However, some modules will require more time and some less for the research.
• Spreadsheet is offered in several formats to accommodate using Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets, or a paper copy.

If you are also enrolled in Boundary Stone’s Basic Economics Course, you were enrolled automatically and one day of most weeks is set aside for working on this project.

What you will learn:

• Categories of expenses for living on your own that you may never have considered
• Opportunities to research realistic costs for needed expenses
• The impact of income tax withholding on your take home pay
• The impact of paying off debt for college or other expenses
• Necessity of making choices as to where you spend your income
• The impact of different choices and priorities for the amount you will have left for “discretionary” options
• How not planning ahead could leave you with too much month at the end of your money
