Analysis:
- I ended up spending $237.95
- I had spent 79% of my budget of $300
- If i only had a budget of $100 I would definitely find different things to buy like less expensive perfume for my mom that only costs about $20-$30, I would also try to find a cheaper breakfast option than $110 for the both of us.
- If I had a budget of $500 i would have bought a much more expensive dinner than IKEA, maybe a fancy restaurant, i would also get a top shelf perfume or make up set instead of a sample set.
Personal/Social Core Competencies:
I can tell what is important to me and I can explain my values. I understand how my values shape my choices.
- I chose my mom for the special day as I know she likes to do a lot of shopping and she was the first person I thought of when to do this project. I also believe that my mom does a lot for me and deserves to be celebrated for at least a day.
- I decide to firstly make my budget based on what my mom likes to like shopping and eat ice cream, then I just thought of ways to do those activities with her while also being cost effective enough so that i was still inside of my budget.
