INTRODUCTION-"REAL WORLD PROJECT"
Financial matters are a major concern in many households. During The Real World Project you will hopefully begin to understand and appreciate some of those concerns. As you progress through this project try to understand the relationship between marriage and financial responsibilities. Be mindful of the financial, physical, emotional and social consequences of teenage pregnancy.
When beginning a job, no matter what your position or profession, seldom do you start out on the top of the salary scale. It often takes years to maximize your income. One must also realize the relationship between education and employment opportunities. For the purpose of this project your income will be limited to $65,000 for single incomes, and $100,000 for married couples. Think about the reality of getting a job now-HOW MUCH COULD YOU REALLY EARN? Also think about you future-How much will it cost to live in the REAL WORLD!!!
