1) The personal budget: What are the items we need to have on a budget? I'll build my own spreadsheet as you follow along. We will have three columns for expenses: estimates, initial budget, adjusted budget.
2) There will be 12 stations you will be cycling through. At each station you will be researching specific budget needs and entering them on your spreadsheet.
3) At your regular seats, we will verify that we all have similar amounts.
3) Now, that hard part: adjust your budget and justify any adjustments with your rationale.
