This Project is to show your personal understanding of personal finance topics we have recently discussed. We discussed finding a job you like, what the job really is like, how much you make, a budget using the annual salary you will make, how housing can affect your budget, how a car loan can affect your budget, why it is important to look at your Budget, and a summary of the entire project.

This rubric is designed to assess the presentation of the group activity. The rubric should consider the performance of the group as a whole, as well as individual contributions.
