1st Problem

Your car breaks down! You need to get to work, therefore, you need to get it fixed. You owe the mechanic $175! Do you have enough to afford this bill? How will you be able to pay for it? You cannot miss any of your other bills, either. What are your options?

Reflections

Write a reflection on what you have learned about paying bills and budgeting monthly expenses. How do you feel about how much money you have left over? What would you want to do with that left over money? How could you have more money next month?
