Things to consider:

·     Home (printed)
·     Job chosen/firm located
·     Map(printed) of route from home to work
·     Transit plan (proof of cost printed)
·     Furniture list (room by room) Evidence of costs so you may have a solid estimate for your one line item in your budget

·     Create a grocery list based on this x 4 weeks
·     Evidence of cost (flyers,pics, family receipt to validate one line item in your budget
·     Note: some items you buy only in the first month or two.
·     Note: some items you buy once every 3 months or so (take that into consideration in your budgeting.

Please keep in mind that you are communicating your plans to me. Please make it easy and clear to follow

Homework this weekend:

As you have only one more class before these are due, it is important that this weekend be a work weekend.
