We are currently in a future planning unit for social studies- as the end of the year draws closer, so does the time for choosing our year eleven options, and this unit allows us to have a closer look at our future careers. We had a list of things to investigate:
- Job Title- Income Total
- Study Time & Cost
- Cost to own your chosen home - weekly rent or mortgage repayments.
- Furniture etc
- Monthly cost for Power, internet, water rates, -
- Weekly Food Cost
- Mobile Bill
- Car loan and repayments
- Children? No
- Clothing
- Eating Out?
- Life insurance
- House/contents insurance
- Planned Holiday
- Health Bill
- EXTRA- Hobbies
- Retirement Plan
This helped us gain an understanding, realistically, of the cost it takes to live comfortably in the modern world- it's a lot. My job title was graphic designer as it incorporates a large number of the things I am interested in- drawing, rendering, computer graphics, adobe suite, creativity, ect. I am not sure if this is the career I will pursue, but for now it seems like something geared towards my interests. Below is the slideshow containing my research on the topic. I would like to note that many of the figures are estimated, and provide a framework as supposed to being 100% reliable.
After reading your post Lily, I'm interested in what your possible future tiny home would ideally look like and where the location would be ?? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWell done Lilly, that is very well researched. I also love that show "Living Big" as it is quite fascinating to see how inventive people are in designing their tiny homes. Each one is so different! Tiny homes means a lot less housework so that is a big win :) Great job, Whaea Kirsty
