 SUMMARY SLIDE
The house and the car I want in the future are a lot more
expensive than I had assumed it would be. The house is
really an apartment that I found, and the car that I chose
cost less than the apartment. My dream job is to be a nurse
practitioner and I can make enough before and after taxes.
My second job, to be a CNA, is not as paying as being a
nurse practitioner. I’ve learned how to calculate my salary.
I’ve also realized that how much I make for a job is much
more important than I thought. Also, before and after taxes
are also important.
