Decisions affected by reasons...

 

The first term of ECON was all about financial literacy. The idea of interest, basic interest compounding, and overall debt accumulated through your financial decisions. Learning all of this really got me thinking about how I, as a high school senior, can compute the cost of my post-high school plans and how they will affect my wallet as well as my future stability. To do this effectively when calculation the cost of post-high school plans, I made a spreadsheet with all the code necessary to compute these equations for me. I then used said spreadsheet to correctly determine what choice I made after high school would be the most effective option for me, my family, and my bank account. Here's how I did it.
