Your presentation will start with three major economic goals that you feel are important enough to deserve planning in order to achieve. The economic goal may be something that you are currently working on right now, such as buying a car, financing college, etc…, or something that is years in the future. The presentation should detail not just your goals, but more importantly how you plan to go about achieving each of your goals. Remember, this is economics, so focus on that part of your planning. You should already have information regarding the cost of some things from our Real World Marriage Project. You may need to do a little more research on one or more of your big economic goals. A big part of grading for the assignment will be based on how well you have put together a realistic plan to reach your goals, so put some thought into the work.
