Alright so its now December, crazy right? Anyways recently in econ we have now moved into personal finance. We now have the Weserville currency, and more recently we have banking, bank cards, check, statements, bills, paychecks, everything money. This has been quite interesting, and for some quite eye opening. We have learned how to balance a checkbook, and how to keep a check register. Yesterday we had to buy cell phones, and pick out plans. This again for many including myself was eye opening. I new smart phones were expensive, but their full retail price is a different story. Most smart phones full retail price is at least $450 or more. This is what I didn't see coming. I did learn though that although TMobile is the best deal, but it has the worst coverage. Verizon has the best coverage but is the most the expensive and the most contract locking in and binding. So all in all its been a good week and econ continues to be interesting and engaging and fun as always!
