section 1: creating a two-month budget
imagine that you are a college student who lives away from home. you have a work-study job at your
college library, and you earn about $600 each month. you have one major long-term goal: you want to
save up money to visit your family soon, and you need at least $100 for your train tickets
1. create a budget that will allow you to save at least $100 by the end of october (10 points)
make sure your budget includes these fixed expenses:
the cost of rent ($250 each month for your shared apartment)
the cost of your bus pass ($40 each month)
• the cost of books ($150, but only in september, at the beginning of the school year)
make sure your budget considers these variable expense categories:
the cost of food
the cost of clothing
discretionary spending (money to spend freely)

Income of the student per month is $600 each month.

For month of September: the rental expenditure : $250, Buss pass is $40, book expenditures is $ 150, food expenditure is $50, clothes expenditure is $50 and discretionary spending is $50.

So after all the expenditure, the money you will be able to save is $10.

For the month of October : rental expenditure : $250, buss pass $40, clothes expenditure $50, food expenditure $50, discretionary expenditure $50.

So after all the expenditure, the saving at the end of October with you would be $170, allowing you to buy the ticket to visit home to your family which would cost $100.

do you have a list of sources to choose from?

the hebrew bible is the sacred text of judaism;

the koran is that of islam.

among eastern religions, the sacred scriptures of hinduis are the four vedas and the upanishads, among others.

a main characteristic in these books is that un most of them we find certain "norms" of behavior, as is the case of the bible that has it's commandments. these rules are to regulate the behavior of believers and faithful of their respective faith.

these rules tell us what is right and what is not.
