How does Laura spend her money?


Laura and Clint are having a conversation about how she spends her money. She is not sure how she is spending her money, and that is why Clint is helping her to make a list of her daily expenses.

Laura
I don’t know where all my money goes.
Clint
Do you have a budget?
Laura
No, I don’t.
Clint
Well, … Have you ever tried to figure out where you spend money?
Laura
Umm, no!
Clint
OK. Get a piece of paper. Let’s go through your day.
Laura
Let’s see. The first thing I do in the morning is to stop at the coffee shop. I buy a cup of coffee and a doughnut there.
Clint
All right. How much do you spend there?
Laura
About $4.
Clint
And how do you get to work? You only live about a mile from work, right?
Laura
Well, I usually don’t get on time to work, so I take the bus. That’s about $2.
Clint
Then, what about lunch?
Laura
I buy my lunch in the cafeteria. It’s about $8 for a sandwich and iced tea.
Clint
Do you spend any more money for food?
Laura
Hmm! Just a soda from the vending machine. That’s a dollar.
Clint
Do you walk home?
Laura
No, I’m too tired. I pay another two dollars for the bus. Oh, and when I get off the bus, I stop and buy a lottery ticket on my way home. That’s a dollar.
Clint
Well, it’s easy to see where all your money goes.

As soon as you are finished reading this conversation, go back to class and answer the questions with your peers.
