Final Analysis and Reaction

What have you learned while completing entries 8 through 13? 

I learned that when I get older i am definetly going to pay some tax dude to do my taxes for me because it is so frickin' boring. For years I have heard my mom complain and my dad jump for joy(he's a nerd) when tax season came around. But now I completely understand, It takes forever, its confusing and in the end you will probably have to pay a crap-ton of money to good ol' Uncle Sam... Whom I've never even met. 

Which of these answers surprised you? Explain. 

The answer that surprised me the most was how much money I will end up paying for things like food and internet. I've never really though about it until now. Last year I just went to vista every day and spend about $5 or so not at all considering how much it will add up to, but now I stop and think if going to vista is really worth it or if I should just bring an apple from home to last me a few hours until I get home.

Did you expect your lifetime earnings to be as much as you estimated in Entry 12? Explain 

I actually though it would be more. For some reason two million dollars doesn't sound like much for a person who spends his whole like earning billions of spuds in lego star wars.

Did you expect your lifetime expenses to be as much as you estimated in Entry 13? 

No, not at all. I had no idea that small things like lunch every day could add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars!! Maybe I should just stop eating... Then I would rich. 

Now that we've finished Life Stage 2, how would you change your entry 8? Why or why not? 

I would probably not buy a super big house because that would force me to pay more taxes. So I would probably just buy some small house in the middle of nowhere. But I would still buy the home theater and personal chef because those things are necessities. 

How would you change your answer if you knew that $1 million needed to last you the rest of your life? 

Oh come one?!?! That's lame. i would probably just buy the cheapest house I could find, A TV, a refrigerator and maybe a couch. Then the rest would be used to pay bills and food.
