This project aimed to simulate budget planning for a post-graduate student earning $55,000 in Nashville. Taxes reduced income by almost 30%, leaving less than $40,000 as disposable income. The need to save 20% of income further reduced funds available. Additional expenses like renters insurance and vehicle registration fees further cut into disposable income. This forced sacrifices of desired purchases. Overall, the project highlighted how much of one's income can be lost to taxes and expenses, and the importance of realistic budget planning.

The document summarizes the costs of peso appreciation for the Philippine economy. It finds that for every 10% the peso is overvalued, GDP growth is reduced by 0.2%. Keeping the peso at 41 PHP/$ until 2017 would result in lost GDP from appreciation compared to returning it to 45 PHP/$. The author recommends macroprudential measures by the central bank to reduce appreciation, lowering interest rates, raising inflation targets, and printing pesos to soak up foreign inflows. Fiscal measures include borrowing dollars domestically and issuing infrastructure bonds. Public support is needed to abandon the view that a strong peso means a strong economy and instead support a weak, job-creating peso.A2 pre production tasks feedback sheet jarvis-ferentinos

This document discusses conventions used in movie posters and magazine covers for horror films.
For posters, it notes conventions like placing the central image in the middle, using sans-serif fonts, including the film title and credits. Color, lighting, costumes and imagery are also used conventionally to signify genre.
For magazine covers, conventions discussed include sans-serif fonts, organized layout, film credits and other references to establish it as a movie publication. Imagery, lighting, color and costumes again signal the horror genre.
The effects of applying genre and format conventions are said to help audiences quickly identify the medium and film type, but some unconventional aspects may challenge expectations or clarity.Credit timeline

The document summarizes the "80:20 rule" for managing personal finances in a sustainable way. It describes how the author analyzed past bank statements to categorize expenses as fixed, variable, or disposable income. The 80:20 rule means fixed and variable expenses should not exceed 80% of income, leaving 20% as disposable income, with half of that amount saved each month. Following this simple formula has helped the author gain control over finances and escape debt.Financial Wisdom

The document discusses a pilot program that offered tax filers the opportunity to purchase U.S. Savings Bonds with part of their tax refunds. Key findings from the pilot and previous pilots include that lower-income tax refund recipients liked and wanted to purchase savings bonds, especially for their children, but often did not know how; those who purchased bonds were likely to do so again and hold them long-term; and they were more likely to purchase paper bonds than online bonds. The document argues that making savings bond purchases available on tax forms could help more Americans start saving, especially lower-income individuals. It also reviews the importance of saving and challenges lower-income individuals face in saving.Nashville

- 1. Analysis<br />This project asked us to simulate the budget-planning of a post-graduate student with a meager salary. I represent a person living in Nashville with moderate earnings of $55,000. <br />For many students, a salary of $55,000 may not be enough to live a comfortable life. Areas such as San Francisco or San Jose or New York have extremely high living costs. In Nashville, however, it is relatively easy to live with $55,000, since Nashville has lower housing prices, lower gas prices, and lower costs in general. <br />Through this project, I realized that planning a budget and allocating money efficiently really is a very difficult task. For one, taxes, whether it be federal income taxes or state income taxes or FICA, take away a huge sum of money. For a salary of $55,000, the taxes for a Tennessean sum up to about $15,000, an amount making up almost 30% of income. This is a huge cut in available disposable income for the individual.<br />Furthermore, the need to save money cuts down disposable income even further. Saving 20% of my adjusted income isn’t even close to my desired $10,000 annual savings. Finding a bank to put this money is also a rather difficult task. Not only do I have to consider the APY (annual percent yield), I must also take the bank’s financial stability into account. <br />Finally, I learned that there are a lot of extra costs to housing and transportation. I never knew there were renter’s insurance or vehicle registration fees. These additional expenses reduced my disposable income even further and I was forced to give up many desired things (vacations, books, cars, etc.) to ensure that I could live.<br />Overall, this project taught me to be a realistic life planner. The government and random expenses take away a huge amount of money. I learned to spend money wisely and I now have a better overview of the chaos that will accompany the beginning of independent life after college.<br />
