Post A.P Blog

This week I am ashamed to say I did not focus much on Personal Finance. I was busy studying for my A.P. Euro Exam. Yay? Due to that, I have trouble remembering anything in the past because it is considered History but I'll try my best. Ready? Go! This week we learned about credit cards and credit score and a sad story about a teacher who ended up in a lot of debt. I searched up a lot of credit cards, hoping that one of them can accept my good credit and still have some benefits. Now I hope I can afford the APR.............

What goes into a dollar?

So this week in Personal Finance class we entered the wonderful world of money. (Big Shocker) We watched a movie about how money is made.  More specifically the US dollar. It's not as easy as printing a dollar on the copy machine. There is so much that goes into making a dollar, that the movie took most of the class. There is no way I could be a counterfeiter. That's way too much work.

So... This week...

This week has been a big leap for all of us! We have now moved from Economics to Personal Finance. Hooray? It appears that my paycheck amount does not mean I work at GIIERU any longer. If I was, I would definitely be making more money. The amount of money I have in my bank account could be better, but hey, I'm not broke!
