  15. Class Discussion: 1 of 2 * Pose questions to the class - How many of you thought this was a pretty “bare budget?” - Who’s surprised at the difference in salary between having and not having a high school diploma? - The amount you have left over each month is what you can spend on “extras” or “wants”

  16. Class Discussion: 1 of 2 *Ask the class: How many of you would like to -spend money on travel or vacation?- have video games, an iPad, an iPhone or a Wii?- buy Christmas or birthday presents?- eat out or go to movies or have a date?- have a family one day? (average baby costs $7,000/yr)- what are some other things you enjoy now that you don’t want to have to give up?- look at your budget and decide what would you give up if you’re income was low because you had not graduated high school- what would you let go?
