Money Matters!
By Jake S.
• For the money matters project, my three
cities were Lakewood, Colorado, Lansing,
Michigan, and New York City, New York. the
salary for Lakewood was $60,000 dollars a
year. the salary for New York was $99,000.
but Michigan’s salary was only $52,000. My
grandma lives in NY, and we live in Michigan.
• I created this graph on Microsoft Excel.
•
Concluding…
• I’ve researched and researched and my final project choice is...
•NEW YORK
CITY!!!!!
Why?
Because…
• 1. my grandma lives in New York
• 2. my mom’s good friend lives in
New York city
• 3. My salary is A whopping $99,000 a
year!
• 4. it has broadway!
• 5. I could get some good exercise
walking.
Why not Lansing or Lakewood?
• Well, I live in Michigan, so I COULD live in
Michigan then, but as I said, it only is $52,00
a year. A little over HALF of my New York
salary! And Colorado is my last choice,
where the salary is only $60 k a year. If you
add my Colorado and Michigan salary per
year, it only equals up to be $112,000- only
$13k more than 1 New York job! Although
in Colorado there are GREAT skiing
mountains.
Always remember folks, even though you should work
a lot, there should always be time to fit in a little fun.
Here are the resources I used.
