Family Assignment

My family was a very wealthy family. We were making $380,000 a year with a savings of $500,000. While going through the assignment, I began to realize the value of the dollar and made me think about the things my family will spend through the year. Vacation, clothing, gas, a new car this year. It makes me realize how fortunate I am. It also made me realize why some unfortunate families will go on Thanksgiving to do their shopping on the great deals. With the amount of money we were given. We were able to afford a very nice home in Glencoe. We were able to purchase a Porsche and an Escalade. This assignment made me realize the value of the dollar and how fortunate we all are at Stevenson. We should be thankful this Thanksgiving and should really reflect on what we have been given.
