13. Breckenridge, CO

14.  Breckenridge, CO is well know for its great family activities such as  Skiing  Boating  Shopping  Fine Dining  Lots of Festivals and events weekly

15. Breckenridge, CO  Total for family of 3 for 4 nights at a prime resort including all food and shopping expenses  $1,149.00  We chose this location because it makes for a nice easy get away from the cities, it allows us to be away but not have the hassle of flying and packing extensively.

16. Family Entertainment  We chose to use our money to enjoy events like:  Fine Dining in Downtown Denver  Avalanche, Broncos and Rockies Games  Skiing most weekends out of the winter months  Funding for Hunter to play baseball and hockey

17. Charitable Donations  We chose to donate to disaster fund reliefs like the Red Cross and donate funds to support volunteer fire and search and rescue teams around the state.  We chose to donate to them because those are always jobs that are thankless and you can always depend on their help.

18. Savings  We chose to set aside an amount monthly for Hunter’s College and car funding. And a bit set aside to purchase a cabin somewhere like Breckenridge.

19. Analysis of My Life  My 3 decisions were:  I chose a job that I love, however my income was limited  My wife had to work fulltime to fulfill her job and to help cover the child care costs  I had to get a few model years older on my truck in order to have a savings fund for my son  I learned that money defiantly does not grow on trees and that you can’t get everything you want on an average salary.

20. Analysis/Advice  I would tell anyone taking this class that make sure you think responsibly but still leave room for fun.  And to always remember this is just a game so have fun with it!
