Cars and Condos: Budgeting Income To Cover Expenses
Read the Fine Print
Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

There are two sides to a budget—income and expenses. When asked how to best balance a budget, people often respond by saying to reduce or eliminate expenses. In this lesson, students choose a car and a housing option and, using these expenses, determine if the income they earn from the occupation they’ve chosen will be sufficient when other expenses are added. If they determine it is insufficient, they seek ways they could increase the income side of the budget by improving their human capital.

After making calculations, they graph their results to compare how costs change depending on the use of different materials (steel vs. concrete).
