Day 7 - Tuesday, Feb 16 - Cost of Living

Cost of Living

Now that you have an idea of how much it costs to own and rent a place to live, we have to give you the full picture and see what else you need to spend money on as an adult.

This is known as the Cost of Living.











Blog Assignment - The Job To Pay For It All

Go to Numbeo, and estimate your cost of living but enter "none" for rent.
Type up in your blog all the entries you picked and the total you got from Numbeo.  Post a screenshot of the Numbeo site with your numbers.

Pick one of the places from a previous assignment for rent.
Add these two numbers together (Numbeo cost of living + rent).
Type up in your blog what your total cost of living is including rent.

Decide how much money you want to put into savings and investing a year. We will do more details on this but pick something from $100 to $1000 a MONTH.

State your total cost of living after savings.  Multiply this number by 1.3 (this will represent taxes and other expenses).  Then multiply this by 12 to get a total cost for the YEAR.
.
Go to Workopolis's Salary Calculator.  
Find a minimum of THREE careers that will meet your Cost of Living.  Post screenshots of their salaries.
List the careers and what they make.
