Bradford Reality Check Analysis
Reality Check

During reality check at Bradford I learn a lot about handling money and the meaning of it. I had a fake life where I made a steady income of $7,000.00 a month and had to spend that through out a variety of things including housing, a car, clothes, food, gas, and child support. Also I wanted to plan a budget where I could have extra money for extra things including money to go to the movies or buy a television in my home. I did not have any kids living with me at home so I did not have to worry about daycare, but I did have to plan so that I would have money to pay around $300.00 in child support. I started off by going to the essentials like a home and paying my bills. As I was walking around talking to other people I

    As a diehard Patriots fan, this article was a tough read for me, as it is basically attacking the integrity of the organization. The author’s primary intentions are to prove that the Patriots have a tendency of cheating and show that Commissioner Roger Goodell has been inconsistent with his discipline towards the Patriots. The article starts off with an overview of spygate to set the precedent for deflategate: that cheating would not be tolerated.…

    Last October with very little warning I lost my job. Now since my wife only works part time, I am the major bread winner in our family. My job supplies our money for our monthly bills, our health insurance and our life insurance. My wife’s paycheck is more for spending money and savings. However, our savings was extremely low because we had just purchased a new home a couple months before and had to make two unexpected trips home to Illinois within three weeks the month before because of illness in the family. When I came home and told my wife I was losing my job she was definitely extremely worried. We had to come up with a plan to keep our financial heads above water and quick.…

    It is not uncommon for the evening news to talk about the local, state, or national budget. Controlling finances is an important issue for governments at many levels. Families also must control their finances. Some families create budgets that they stick to carefully, recording all outgoing and incoming money so that they never spend more than they bring in. Other families keep at least a mental count of where their finances stand. But what about young people—people your age?…

    Over two thirds of people under the age of twenty four realize they do not know enough about finances, and are losing money because of it (Norvilitis). The reason young adults lack this knowledge is because schools rarely have financial classes. Even if such classes are offered, students see few reasons to take them, as getting accepted into prestigious colleges may require classes like math and science instead of those. Another problem is the parents, who do not teach their kids enough about finances and how they work. Children rarely seem to have the knowledge growing up about the importance of finances, saving money, and being cautious with spending your money. When it is not taught at school, it becomes the responsibility of the parents to assume that role, a role that many times is not filled. Without the correct knowledge, many children grow up lacking the thought of keeping track of their expenses, paying taxes, and putting money into…

    There are consequences for having inadequate savings for families. If your monetary personality is reckless, that could potentially be the cause of your children not having sufficient clothes, food, or housing. Saving money should not start right when you have the kid but beforehand. If you save in advance, you will be more prepared for when your child comes along and you are able to provide them with the necessities. The saving will lead you to have even some extra money saved up and then if you have an accident or your child has an accident then you are able to pay the money for the hospital bill. You can also have money saved up for future expenses for your child such as a car or school…
