You must find every item you purchased out from a catalogue, newspaper or internet with costs or receipts. All ‘cut outs’ must have the price clearly marked. Prices need to be added up. You must purchase a House and a car You must furnish your house e.g.: Lounge room (couch, TV etc.) kitchen (appliances), bedrooms (bed, doona, pillows etc.) .

Step One: Create a budget. Item Number Item Description Item Cost Total Cost This is a list of the items that you would like to buy and an estimation of their cost. Don’t forget to work out the total cost of all of the items.

Step Two: Go Shopping! This is the fun part! Begin with the ‘big ticket’ items. Make sure you cut out the item and that price is clearly marked or cut and paste the image into a Publisher or Word document You may use newspapers, magazines and catalogues. You may also use the internet.
