My thoughts
When I first started this project I thought it would be difficult considering math wasn't one of my best subjects, also that I've never been good with money. But after completeing my spreadsheet, I realized that keeping a organized personal budget system definately helps from mindless spending. Now that I've done this project, I feel more confident about moving out and/or "cutting the cord" from my parents.

__Decisions about regarding expenditures and savings__
At the beginning of this project it was irritating trying to find a place considering the economy but after a arduous search, I finally found a house and all the other pieces fell into place. Although I saved a little by messing with some of the prices and not paying the same amount each month.

__Will I be another "one and done"?__
College Savings: $2470 Yes I will be going to school next semester
