Econ Life Budget Project

Creating a financial plan for a lifetime
I just finished my Life Plan for Economics class. Basically, I had to create a detailed spreadsheet explaining how I would budget 7 different stages of my life. I also created fun little visuals to go with each stage. Here they are:

University Life
Single and working
Married!
Life as a couple
First Child

Second Child

Life until retirement

But here, my work was blown up and put on the walls of the Gates computer science building--the same building I practically live in and seen by all the people I work with and respect. That has a completely different feeling to it and while I was proud of my work I also felt a little scared. Would they like it? What if my students saw it? Will people see me differently?
