Open this link about goal setting. There is a short video to watch and then the students are to set 3 goals they want to achieve by the end of the semester. Once they have written their goals collect them and we will hold onto them until the last advisory of their high school careers. We will bring these back out and see if they achieved their goals. Have them write goals they can achieve by the end of their senior year.

Using the Every dollar website we signed up for yesterday we are going to give the students 3 scenarios to see how their money is distributed.
Scenario 1: They are going to be a senior in high school, living at home with their parents. Go to the Paycheck line and have them put in $1000.00. We will figure that is what they make a month after taxes and everything. For cell phone put down $100.00. We are figuring they live at home so they don't have housing bills. Go to the budget line that says gas and put $125.00. Go down to Auto insurance and put $65.00. This should leave them with $710.00, if they look in the top left corner it will tell them. They have $710.00 for the rest of the month. Have them go through and spend this money on whatever items they would want. They can spend it all, put in savings, donate to charity, whatever they want. After giving them a few minutes to fill out the sheet. Ask how many spent every dime and how many put some into savings. Have a discussion about what the rationale was on where they put their money.
Scenario 2: They are living in college. Go to the paycheck line and put in 1000.00. Then go to the mortgage line and put 400.00, 25.00 for water, 25.00 for gas, 25.00 for electricity, 25.00 for cable and 10.00 for trash, 50.00 for groceries, 50.00 for restaurants. This will leave them with 110.00 for the rest of the month see what they would do with the leftover 110.00 and then talk about what they decided and pluses or minuses of what their decision was.
Scenario 3: Take scenario 2 and now add that you had to have your car repaired, which is the car replacement tab for 200.00. This will now put you 90.00 over budget, where would you pull money from to pay for this.
Let me know if you have any questions about these scenarios or the site.

Students will need to register for a program called Every Dollar. Once students go to the site they need to sign. Once they have created an account it will take them to a page where they can make a budget. For your January income put down what you make a month if you have a job. Then go through looking at the different things you spend money on. You can put in what you spend on the different items a month based on your current situation. Tomorrow we will work on a scenario that might be similar to a college or post high school situation. If you don't have a job then put down that make 500 as your income and then see what your expenses are.
Main thing today is to get the kids signed up and have them play with the site for a little while so they know what to do and how to use the site for tomorrow's scenarios.
Let me know if you have any questions or problems with the site today.

The students need to be reshown the Community Scholarship link. We did this last month, but we had seniors complaining about not know information about scholarship and/or not knowing where to go to get information so we are going to show this again. Make sure kids are on task so we don't have them claiming they didn't know where to go. Here is the link
