Vacation Destination

Breckenridge, CO

Breckenridge, CO

Breckenridge, CO is well know for its great family activities such as Skiing Boating Shopping Fine Dining Lots of Festivals and events weekly

Breckenridge, CO

Total for family of 3 for 4 nights at a prime resort including all food and shopping expenses $1,149.00

We chose this location because it makes for a nice easy get away from the cities, it allows us to be away but not have the hassle of flying and packing extensively.

Family Entertainment

We chose to use our money to enjoy events like: Fine Dining in Downtown Denver Avalanche, Broncos and Rockies Games Skiing most weekends out of the winter months Funding for Hunter to play baseball and hockey

Charitable Donations

We chose to donate to disaster fund reliefs like the Red Cross and donate funds to support volunteer fire and search and rescue teams around the state.

We chose to donate to them because those are always jobs that are thankless and you can always depend on their help.

Savings

We chose to set aside an amount monthly for Hunter’s College and car funding. And a bit set aside to purchase a cabin somewhere like Breckenridge.

Analysis of My Life

My 3 decisions were: I chose a job that I love, however my income was

limited My wife had to work fulltime to fulfill her job and to

help cover the child care costs I had to get a few model years older on my truck in

order to have a savings fund for my son

I learned that money defiantly does not grow on trees and that you can’t get everything you want on an average salary.

Analysis/Advice

I would tell anyone taking this class that make sure you think responsibly but still leave room for fun.

And to always remember this is just a game so have fun with it!
