How do I make Sense of Cents? – Group Flatting Project
Scenario:
A group of you have decided to go
flatting!! You are in your first year out of high school and are either
studying at a Tertiary institute or have your first fulltime job, at the
minimum wage.
Consider:
Where are you in New
Zealand
What is your location?? How far
away are you from your Tertiary Institution or job?
You have NOTHING except clothing and your parents’ best wishes – in the
form of $1500!!!!
You can have up to $3000 saved.
Tasks:
Complete as an A4 size booklet or
as a google presentation – one for the whole group
Title page: (“Freedom Flatting” or title of your own) and names
of group members.
A Map of your area with the
flat location, job location and Tertiary Institute location. Include other
relevant details such as local bus routes, closest supermarket and ATM machine
etc!!
Itemise everything that you
purchase to set up your flat. You must have proof of all costs. For example cut
out of the paper, brochures or computer print outs from web sites. You are setting up a flat from scratch!!
Be aware that there are quite different costs for bond, electricity and
water.
You need to feed yourselves. Work out your menu for the flat for the
week and decide what groceries you would need to buy and how much they would
cost. Itemise (Countdown website would be useful for you!)
