Today I finished up my financial analysis project budgeting for my trip to Greece for my birthday. Overall I found this process and project to be very helpful. This is a project that actually has skills that people would use in their real lives, which is a great learning objective to achieve. I didn?t run into any challenges with this project as this is an aspect of my life that I am very detailed with and I attend to it with great care. I think managing a budget and knowing where you spend your money is a really important lesson for any young adult to learn. In fact, I have often argued that our public school curriculum should include a mandatory personal finance course in high school. I don?t think you should be able to earn your high school diploma without having demonstrated some basic understanding of personal finance including budgeting, account maintenance, and credit card basics! But I digress.
As I mentioned in my actual project, I found all of my ?tools really helpful. I really appreciate the functionality of Quicken and Excel as well as web-based tools for finding information necessary to project a budget for an international trip. All in all, this was a great two weeks with some great outcomes. And it doesn?t hurt to combine a school project with a real world project!
