intro statement
I will be planning this special day for my mom. This day would take place anytime on the weekends as she has work.
Itinerary
12pm: I decided to take her to the Coquitlam mall were she could shop at her favorite stores like Lululemon, Aritzia, North face, and zumiez. We would get to the mall by limo ($135). I would buy her the longsleeve scoopneck she has been wanting ($48).
1:30pm: We would walk over to Cactus Club for some lunch. She would get the steak frites ($35.25) which comes with a side salad.
2:45pm: We would then bus home (i have bus pass). So my mom could drive us over to Zone bowling ($28.00). Where would bowl for only one round.
3:45pm: My mom would then drive us home so I could help prep dinner for my sister and father.
5:00pm Once finished making dinner we both take the bus to La Foret. Where my mom would order Fettuccine Bacon shrimp ($22.99).
6:30pm: We would walk down to cineplex to watch the new Minecraft movie.

Analysis
- How much did you end up spending on your special day? I spent exactly $299.85 which was perfect with our budget of $300.
- What percentage of the total budget did you end up spending? I spent exactly 100% as i had to round up to one decimal.
- What might you have done differently if you had a budget of $500? I would focus more in going to activities like basketball games, soccer games, concerts, etc.
- What might you have done differently if you had a budget of $100? I would only walk or bus to places to save more money. I would also focus on spending less on food and not going to expensive restaurants.
Personal/Core competencies
- Why did you chose this specific person? Why do you believe they deserve to be celebrated?
I chose my mom because she does so much for me like cooking dinners, doing chores, and helping me with homework. So she deserves a specials day off. - Why did you chose to spend your budget the way you did? How did your values influence your decision? I chose to spend my budgets the way I did because I believe my mom would appreciate the activities. Also so I could be the closest to the budget $300. I chose these values because my mom needs a brake from all of her hard work.
