Career Aptitude Test

How much does life cost? Answer: More than you ever imagined!

Some things to keep in mind: The numbers listed here are averages. This activity is to give you a broad overview of how much it costs to live in America today. Unfortunately, not all options are listed here. For the sake of this activity, choose an option that is closest to what you want. Just because a job pays $50 an hour doesn’t mean you will make $96,000 a year! Many jobs (construction, flaggers, etc.) earn great hourly wages but don’t guarantee work year round.

Part 1: Where do you live? You need a place to live because your parents place just isn’t going to work anymore!

Option A Owning a medium-size house in the country. Monthly mortgage payment: $3,300 Utilities: $310 ($300 Electricity, $80 Water/Sewer/Trash, $50 Gas)

Option B Sharing an apartment with roommate Your share of monthly rent: $600 Utilities: $100 (You pay for half of: $120 Electricity, $70 Water/Sewer Trash, $10 renters insurance)

Option C Renting your own 1 bedroom apartment Average monthly rent: $1,200 Utilities: $160 ($100 Electricity, $50 Water/Sewer Trash, $10 renters insurance )

Part 3: How do I get around?

Option A Bicycle or walking! However, you may only choose this option if you are living close to your workplace. (Keep in mind that this often means that your home is more expensive, since it is in higher demand and in a better location) Cost: Free!

Option B Bus or train Cost: $100 a month for bus, $300 for train

Option C Low cost car or truck Cost: $450 ($150 car payment, $200 gas, $100 insurance)

Option D Awesome car or truck! Cost: $930 ($500 car payment, $300 gas, $130 insurance)

If you make less than $20,000, it is only $75 Gym membership?: $50 Female?: $15

Option B No health insurance* Monthly cost: $10 ($100 a year penalty) * Caution: This is extremely stupid. For example, if you are in a car accident, an ambulance ride to the hospital is $900 while an airlift with helicopter is $50,000. Every day you spend in the hospital is $10,000 without insurance. Choose option B at your own risk.

Do you want a flat screen or a laptop? Add $75 monthly payments ($125 for both).

Part 10: Student Loans Does your job require a college education? This means that you will almost certainly have student loans. 2013's college graduates owed an average of $26,000. For the sake of this exercise, choose between a $150-$500 payment per month. ( Keep in mind that the lower your monthly payment, the more money you will pay in the end.)

Part 11: Savings Financial advisors recommend you save at least 10% of your paycheck per month. This protects you against emergencies and is a good investment. You may choose how much money you would like to put in savings each month.

That’s It! Now add up you monthly expenditures (bills) from parts 1-11 and write the total! Subtract the total from your “average monthly income after taxes.” Were you able to balance your budget??
