Financial Literacy
Monday 5th September 2016
Today two woman came over to our school to teach us about saving and how to spend well. First they told us their names and told us what they were doing here. Then they talked a little bit about savings and asked us if we knew what and how to save. Next they handed us a piece of paper with the amount money of money the person on the paper had. Next to it on the paper was a list of things that the person had spent their money on. We were tasked to see what things she could have done without to save more money. Most people said that she should have not Topped up or gone to the movies with snacks. But I that she shouldn't have brought themselves some new jeans because it costed a lot of money.
After that they gave us a new and bigger piece of paper. Then they put us into groups so that we could find ways to save and earn money. In my gorp was Chris,Alfred,Me and Danny Joe. We first wrote down ideas to earn money. I personally think that we had brilliant ideas but on the next activity we did not do as well. A Lemonade Stand, Garage Sale, Selling Clothes and Doing Chores were just some of the ideas that our group had. After that we had to chose something that all of us wanted to save up for and then make a plan of how we were going to save enough money to archive that goal. But we didn't that much so we hid our paper, but they said who ever didn't come up and speak will do it the next day. But a boy called Mosses included Danny Joe even though in the middle he went with us and then switched at the end when were weren't doing so good.

Future Career
Thursday 1st September 2016
For my career I would like to become a basketball player for the NBA (National Basketball Association) playing the Cleveland Cavaliers. An average basketball player makes about 5 million dollars each year. But an MLB (Major League Baseball) only makes 3.3 million dollars a year. The NHL (National Hockey League) pay is even lower than that. They only make 2.4 million a year and a NFL (National Football League) makes 1.9 million.
Plus I already like basketball and play it. So I get paid to do what I love. If I didn’t become a NBA player I would like to become a freelance writer. Freelance writers get to work from their own homes and I also enjoy writing. They can chose what jobs to accept so that means any job with a deadline they do not have to accept it. You can earn as much money as you want by just accept more and more jobs. It also gives you more free time to do what you want to do because you can pick how many jobs you do.
