Description of your special day:
For my special day I am celebrating three friends of mine, Becky, Billy, and Chains. Our day will start off all meeting at Billy’s house and walking to Walmart to grab snacks and drinks. After we finish shopping at Walmart we would all go take the bus to Becky’s house and set up air mattresses snacks and drinks. Once we are done setting up we would all walk up to McDonald’s and Starbucks then go to a local park and hang out. After that I would call my dad to come get us and he would drive us over to the extreme air park, we would spend two hours there and bus back over to Becky’s house around 6:00 pm. once we get back to Becky’s house and order pizza, watch movies and sleepover.

Analysis:
In the day I ended up spending $292 which was 97.3% of my budget. if I only had $100 I would have to try to do activities that are free like taking a walk and cutting down a lot of the extra food costs. If I had a budget of $500 I don’t think I would do much differently, maybe I would spend money to go to an actual restaurant instead of ordering pizza and maybe we could go to an actual amusement park instead of an airpark.
Reflection:
Why did you choose this specific person? Why do you believe they deserve to be celebrated?
I chose these people because they have always been there for me. ever science the day I met them they have been nothing but funny and kind to me. I think they deserve this day because we have all had some stressful times recently and I think they need a well deserved break.
Why did you choose to spend your budget the way you did? What factors went into your decisions?
most of these things we have already done or want to do so I figured it would be fun to cram all of those things into one day of things we love and new expereances.
