Final Budget Changes 2014

Everyone:

Here are the final changes to your Family Monthly Budget.  Please record the changes and email me your final budget forms.   I will review your budget and comment on them next week.  This will be a major part of the grade for this marking period: 

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 Tackk Webpage 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.

Integrity (13 Characteristics)

13 Characteristics of People Who Have Integrity

1. They Value Other People's Time: They value their own time so they also value the time of other people. They know you have plenty of other places you need to be and won’t hold you up. If you spend time with them, it is likely they will thank you for that as well.

2. They Give Credit Where It Is Due: They do not take credit for things they did not do. They will always credit those who deserve it. If you help this person with a project he or she will likely mention your name so you can take credit for your work.

3. They Are Authentic: They are their truest forms. You won’t catch them in a lie or being fake.

4. They Are Always Honest: They are honest people that feel no need to lie as it is important for them to get to where they need to get in life honestly.

5. They Never Take Advantage Of Others: They are not the kind of people who will take advantage of someone else. They love to build people up and help them get where they need to be. Taking too much from someone else will never be an issue with someone who has a lot of integrity.

6. The Do Not Argue Over Disagreements: They will talk through things in a civil manner or not talk at all. You cannot and will not force this person into arguing over something completely ridiculous. I find this to be a very respectable trait.

7. They Give Most People The Benefit Of The Doubt: They try to see the good in everyone. I think this is because they feel like maybe there are more people in this world that also have integrity. That being said, if you take advantage of them too much they will get rid of you.

8. They Know When Something Is Bothering Someone: They have a great intuition that lets them know when something is going on. If someone is down in the dumps they will notice. Chances are they will actually do what they can to cheer you up.

9. They Believe In Others: They accept your word as truth until it is dis-proven. That being said, they do not take lying well. And once you lie to them, it is unlikely that they will ever take your word again.

10. They Apologize First: If they have done something wrong they will come to you and apologize. This is just how they are. They own up to their mistake and try to make things right.

11. They Are Humble: They do not quite know their own worth. While they are very important and do so much good they don’t quite see it. You should remind them of it.

12. They Do Good When They Can: They are always helping other people. They love to know that they have improved someone’s life. It gives their lives meaning.

13. They Are Always Kind To Those Who Need It: Giving kindness can go a long way. When someone looks like they need a little pick me up these people deliver. They can brighten up almost anyone’s day.

If you are someone who has true integrity, thank you for being who you are and thank you for all that you do. You really do actually make a difference in society, please keep up the good work. If you feel no one else is proud of you, know that I am.
