Wednesday Fun Fact Wednesday!!!!! BB, Christina & Kaley… test tomorrow Bring headphones tomorrow – substitute Notes today on the beginning of chapter 3

Take it Seriously!!!! End of marking period is creeping up 11/9 & that marks our ½ way point– you’re old enough to be taking on responsibilities & need to recognize the freedoms in this class… don’t take advantage!!! Auction – Monday was not so great… You signed off on requirements – get a binder this weekend!!! You will be tracking your daily spending & income habits for this entire chapter – we’ll talk more about that Friday/ decorate our record books

Chapter 3 Practical Economics: Your Role as a Consumer Consumption, Income & Decision Making Buyers & sellers interact in markets Market prices are set by buyers’ levels of supply & demand This chapter = how to budge, spend wisely & save a serious amount of dough$$$

Are you a SAVER or a SPENDER??? Neither is necessarily better than the other Neither is necessarily better than the other Wise buying decisions NOW will help you meet your long-term financial goals LATER Wise buying decisions NOW will help you meet your long-term financial goals LATER

Consumer: any person/ group that buys or uses goods/ services to satisfy personal needs & wants Your ability to spend (or consume) depends on available income & how much of it you choose to save or spend Your ability to spend (or consume) depends on available income & how much of it you choose to save or spend Disposable Income: money remaining for a person to spend or save after all taxes/ debts have been paid Disposable Income: money remaining for a person to spend or save after all taxes/ debts have been paid – 1. Necessities: food, clothing, housing – 2. Discretionary income: money a person has left after necessities have been bought to spend on extras or save

Your earning power (ability to consume/ make an income) depends on 5 factors Education Job Experience Health Environment **what are examples of each that could result in you belonging to a lower, middle or upper class?**

Think about a recent purchase you made & what the reasons were for buying it – get specific! How many times do you ACTUALLY THINK about the reasons for the purchase you are about to make? Do you concentrate on NEED FIRST & WANT SECOND??? Do you consider TRADE-OFFS involved? (who remembers what a trade-off is???)

All consumer decisions involve 3 main considerations: 1. Scarce Resources 2. Opportunity Cost 2. Rational Choice

Scarce Resources Time & money are our scarce resources – remember: scarcity always exists… even if you’re loaded, you don’t have all the time in the world, if you have a ton of free time, you most likely are not rolling in $$ You need to invest TIME in learning about a product you wish to buy – price comparison, pictures, consumer ratings, feedback from friends/ family, old or new You obviously need to invest MONEY in ultimately buying the product

Opportunity Cost Remember: your opportunity cost is the value of your “plan B” -- it is the value of the next best thing you would have done/ chosen In buying an item, you should think about the quality of the item you are potentially buying – What does “value versus volume” mean?

General Consumer Spending

High-quality products cost more than lower-quality products Nike flats on sale at Sports Authority versus Nike Hyperdunk – let’s say the Hypers are $80 more than the others If you choose the higher priced shoe, you sacrifice $80 The opportunity cost of the Hypers over the flats is whatever else you would have bought with that $80 Remember: NEED then WANT!!! – Do you need the Hypers or do you want them? – Will it improve your performance or is it just totally awesome?

Rational Choice: choosing the best-quality alternative/ item that is the least expensive from among comparable-quality products (finding a middle ground…great item + manageable price) Each person’s value system for his/ her needs & wants is different Analyzing these 3 aspects of consumer decisions will give you the greatest possible chance of obtaining the things you NEED then WANT

For Homework Due Friday Print out the following – each image should be about the size of ¼ a sheet of computer paper – ONE item you deeply desire/ want to save up to buy--- give this some SERIOUS thought, it will be a point of focus for the next few weeks – ONE item/ type of item(s) that is your weakness. This should be a temptation that you want, don’t need & are looking to cut out to save $$

Spare Time?..... Start listing major purchases you’ve made since the beginning of the summer until now… This will be the first entry in your activity piece for Friday
