How Prepared Are People: What Kind Of Car Do You Pay
Arturo Sanchez
Financial Responsibility
How Prepared are People
What kind of car do you want? “I want a Bugatti” How much do you think you pay? “I would pay less than 400 on lease.” This is not good because it means that people do not know the cost for the things that they want. a Bugatti to buy would cost a person $1.4 million to buy and would cost 24K to lease.
I then was worried because of the ignorance for the things they want. Then I asked people if their parents own a house and if they did how much they thought their parents paid. The answers varied for 2,000 to 100 Million. These answers are not right or wrong because it depends on what kind of house they live in and in what area. I ask people if they wanted to go to college and all

    Lotus Rental Csr

    The vehicles currently available at Lotus Car Rental, like the majority of the other cars on the road, run on gasoline or diesel, but the cost of petroleum products are constantly raising. As of today, the price of West Texas crude oil is $107 a barrel (Davies, July).

Through our research, we have reached the conclusion that Lotuc Car Rental should make an initial investment of a…

    Summary: The False Stereotypes

    According to The Atlantic article, “The False Stereotypes About Millennials Who Live at Home,” a 2014 data report from the Census Bureau, the “median earnings for young adults who were working full-time were only about $34,000 for Millennials.” This salary is much less than previous generations. Additionally, according to the same report by the Census data, “only 65 percent of Millennials were employed as of 2014, compared to about 70 percent in the three decades prior.” Despite being one of the most educated generations, currently, the decision to move back homes stems from the economical reality of simply not having enough to support…

    Consumer Math

    As a senior about to graduate from high school, I am now at the point where I can become an active member of society in the world meaning I am no longer just a bystander in business. It is essential to be taught that mathematics has many different facets and some can help save your from bankruptcy and other serious financial downfalls. A major lesson I picked up from this Consumer Math course was the matter of owning or leasing a car. All my life I have been under the impression that buying a car was the only alternative after having a used car. But I learned that sometimes leasing a car could be the better decision when considering one’s financial situation or other personal preferences.…

    The Millionaire Next Door

    The Millionaire Next Door

    How does one earn the title of wealthy? Authors Dr. Thomas J. Stanley and Dr. William D. Danko have studied how people become wealthy for over twenty years. They have conducted research, written books, conducted seminars, and advised major corporations on whom the wealthy are and what are the characteristics of the affluent in America. The research for The Millionaire Next Door was comprised of personal, as well as focus group interviews, with more than 500 millionaires. A survey of 1,115 high net worth and/ or high income respondents was also compiled. The authors define the threshold for being wealthy as having a net worth of $1 million or more. This is one distinction that the authors make in comparison to what most Americans might perceive is the definition of wealth. As opposed to what most Americans in our society believe, a measure of an individual’s material possessions does not necessarily equate to being wealthy. According to the authors, wealth is what you accumulate and not what you spend. Based on the author’s definition of wealth, only 3.5% of American households meet their criteria for status as a millionaire. Of this small percentage, 95% of millionaires have a net worth between $1 million and $10 million. The authors chose to focus on this segment of millionaires because this level of wealth can be attained in one generation and by many Americans.…

    Care and Belonging

    As I was reading this article, it made me think of my childhood growing up and how I related so close to this topic. For me, I didn't have a lot growing up so I found myself struggling with wanting all the same things my friends had that my parents couldn't always afford. My parents both worked full time jobs to provide for me and my two older brothers. Allison J. Pugh states in the article that low-income parents often planned ahead and save up to be able to buy their children what they ask for and I saw my parents do this for me and my brothers for Christmas and our birthdays. My parents taught me at a young age to stay humble and that material things don't define me as a person. I carry this lesson with my everyday life now. I see my father now buying my two younger half sisters any and everything they could ever want. I see him trying to make up for the things he couldn't give me while growing up. It also points out that your parents don't buy you things for the joy of…

    Is The American Dream Dead Or Alive

    residents believe that the American middle class is just a trace of something that is disappearing or no longer exists. Most adults nationally think the American Dream is attainable for themselves. Although fewer than 69%, many think it is in reach for other Americans as well. Americans are slightly less optimistic about their children’s future. While 58% think their children will be better off than they are now, about one-third say their children will be in a worse position. In general, the picture becomes clearer when the focus shifts to the future of America’s youth. Racial differences exist! Nonwhite Americans are more likely to think the American Dream is alive and that, when thinking about their childhood they are better off than their parents. Non-white residents are also more likely than white Americans to report that, both their children and most of the nation’s children will be better off. The differences are marked here. 72% of non-white residents, compared with 49% of whites, say their children will be in a better situation than they are currently. Residents who earn less than $50,000, Democrats, women, or those without a college education are more likely to express concern than their…

    American Dream Problem

    American Dream Problem

    They make a good income, are able to raise their families, and can still have extra money saved for emergencies. In the article by David Wallechinsky it says that, “seventy four percent of the middle class say that they take responsibility for their own financial success or failure”(3). Basically what this fact is trying to say is that the Americans that are financially stable say that it is up to them if they are successful and are able to raise their families with the income that they make. They don’t see the problems that others may face with money. Also from Robin Fretwell Wilson’s article she states that, “The American Dream means more than becoming rich”. For some families they do not see this. They believe that money is the most important thing. They do not value the money the way other families do. Some readers believe that money is the most important but it is not the number one thing that should be on their mind. It should be about having enough money to raise the family and saving for emergencies. While some American families believe that money is not a problem others believe that it is more than just a problem because they cannot even get by with the income they make. They are not able to save money…
