Personal Narrative: A New Sporty Car

As a million dollars passes through your hands, Foster teaches us on how to hold onto the money we’ve earned. Many consider money to be a good thing, but when people start believing that quantity overrides quality, money can lead you to the wrong reasons. He’s gotten to know some of the most successful people in the world during his lifetime, and every single one of them started out learning what do with the money they’ve earned with a part-time job. “They also learned how tough it is to earn each and every dollar, so they were careful about how they spent their money. These successful people developed good spending habits when they were young that stayed with them throughout their careers,” (pg 22). In my future, I plan to get a job and save at least half of my

Say I was old enough, I want my mom and step dad to buy me a brand new car. In fact, One of the main obvious reasons my mom should get me a new car is… It’ll save money in the long run to not have to fix it all the time, when it breaks down. It will probably also last longer, unless I total it but I’ll be a safe driver. I promise. For example, If I have a brand new car I will fit in with all of the other kids. I can drive all my friends around in my super cool car. Y’all would be the absolute best. It would be super great to drive around in. Another example, You know how you’re always complaining about drive me around? Well complain no more, I could drive myself. I would be able to get places without your help. I wouldn’t need you too. In

At present, being a young adult has an impact on my financial thinking on behavior because I am focusing primarily on my career. For instance, without graduating from college, I will not be able have a higher wage occupation which will allow to me to focus on other life stages such as middle and older adulthood where expenses are higher and investments can be contracted for (Rachel Siegel and Carol Yacht, 2013, p. 11). Risk-taking is not of interest to me because I do not have a

Teens and some young adults are known for blowing their money on unimportant things. Some student think ahead and start saving up for college, which is when managing money comes into place. Gas, auto insurance, and car payments are often sometimes paid by the students, when their parents actually own the car. For example, I pay for my own gas and insurance every month. I make minimum wage working between twenty and thirty hours a week. I was not expected to pay for all of those expenses, but I did not expect my parents to pay for all of these expenses anyway. I offered to pay for all of my insurance, which takes up a little over half of my paycheck. When I manage my money right and do not spend all of one paycheck on unimportant and unneeded things, I can start saving up the extra money accumulated, which results in me having extra money when I get my next paycheck. My parents did not want me to work, but I wanted to work and prove to everyone around me and myself that I was ready to take a step in being more independent with my own money and that I did not need them paying for everything I wanted/needed. Managing money is not hard, it just takes making the right decision of whether or not what is wanted is worth the money. As students learn to manage their time and money, they become more self-dependent and mature.

In the book “Just the Basics Please,” I have learned how important it is to save money. It never occurred to me the amount of money someone can make just by saving at a young age. After learning about financing, I too would like to have millions. At a young age, the only things going through my mind is food and hanging out with friends. I can easily spend over one hundred dollars in a week and not think twice about it. Also, it’s amazing how many ways a person can save and make money by simply just being informed.

Two years ago i was with my friend and his dad raced down at peoria speedway, and right after we unloaded the car he has a hauler so you can get on top of it. We heard commotion behind us and there was two white cars pulled up and two girls got out of the cars and they started fighting like pulling out their hair. I thought that it was hilarious probably 10 minutes into the fight the girl gets back in her car and tries to run the girl over. The girl that almost got ran over she punched a hole in the driver's side window and tries to pull her out. So the cops get there and both girls are in their own car and the officer is talking to the girl in the car behind the first car while she is talking to her the first girl spins her tires and she drives

Waking up the morning that I was meant to leave for my trip, all that I could do was try to will my bladder not to have to use the bathroom and inconvenient amount of times and trying to decipher the correct amount of water that I should drink in order to not have to go. When I woke up a peed, before I left, I peed, when I got to Anna’s house I peed again just for good measure- and that was all within a couple of hours. When we finally left on our 8 hour journey my new mantra was “don’t think about having to pee” which as you can assume was the adverse of what I was trying to do. For the first 3 hours I didn’t have to go, and I was so proud of myself. After that I gained some confidence and was like “I got this, I will pee when

Growing up these past few years I’ve been lucky enough to not have to worry about not having enough money to buy something, my house is decently big, and we have extra spending money. I would classify myself as being rich or top notch, but I’ve been lucky enough. As myself, I’m not even sure if it’s all worth it, or if I am just expecting it. I am one of those kids that would tell you my future

People are said to get wiser with years due to the experience they receive over the span of their life. Although not the smartest man I know, my father, David Fulghum, has definitely gained a better understanding of money due to his years than I have currently gained as a teenager. His interaction with money has proven to me that he has a great understanding of money, and, although he may have done things differently, he admits the changes he would have made and advises current and upcoming millennials to make these changes.

Stay away from the lottery it is nothing but a scam and a taxation on the poor and people who cannot do math. Second. Never, ever, own a credit card. They just have dumb interest rates that swallow and hurt your paycheck in the long run. Follow these two rules as well as listen to the Dave Ramsey Show on the radio and you are on your way to debt free and wealth building my

I began by putting in more of my financial resources by buying necessities such as food and water for my family on more frequent occasions than I had before as well as the will to spend more money on my friends as opposed to the past were I would hold back from doing as a generous person would.

I will be fake broke this year. I now know why millionaires penny pinch. I want to dominant on a whole another level, which means diving deeper into the stock market and increasing my savings as well as my knowledge around these fields ..... I've been serious about saving, when I was struggling off that monthly check years ago. Stack what little I had. Came into some money in my early 20's and took the time to love one and myself with gifts, leaving me not to want for anything. Now that I'm in my late 20's, my priorities are so much different. I don't want to lease, I don't want to rent, I don't want to go half on ish. I want to own! .... People think they know me so well off of minuscule encounters or their preconceived notions of me. All

All in all wouldn’t it be awesome to live life debt free and do the things you always wanted to do. You can go to college, buy cars, houses and many other things. So if you learned one thing today I hope it is that we are going to be saving are whole life so you better get used to it and hopefully you learned how know the difference between a want and a

Growing up with parents who didn’t know much about money put me in a position where I had to learn how to be financially responsible at a young age. Before my 18 birthday I wanted to open my own checking account and eventually a credit card in my name without any cosigner. With this in mind before my 18th birthday, I research every bank from big banks such as Bank of America to little credit unions like Arizona Federal. I learn about the fees, how to avoid them, the advantages and disadvantages of a big bank and credit unions, credit reports, the different type of credit cards available and what the best way to obtain them is. Then at 18, I opened my first bank account and subsequently a credit card a couple months later all without a cosigner. With the knowledge I have obtained on my journey, I know I would be an excellent fit for the company and looking forward to working with the team, and ready to educate the public about finances.
