For this week’s writing assignment in personal finance, I am supposed to write an essay about the first two-four years after I graduate high school. Because I am thirteen years old and I’m taking this class in my eighth grade year of school, I am only going out two years from high school because it will be a stretch to predict what I’ll do then. I can predict one thing, and that is that lots of things are going to change for me between now and then. For one thing, I will be four years passed coping with that absolute piece of crap that goes by the name “Dignanâ€. I will hopefully have learned to drive by then, and, in the best case scenario, I will own my own car. There is a chance that I will have had summer jobs and saved up some money. In the event that I do, I will use that and graduation money to jump-start adulthood. Either I will continue living with my parents, and work a full time job to save up for college, or I will already have had enough money saved up to do college. This is based upon if I actually decide to take college, and the only scenario where I think I would do college is if there is a very specific field that I want to go into, and that job requires a degree or would be made much easier if I had a degree. Otherwise I’d probably just move out pretty soon after I turn 18, probably in the fall of that year. I would probably move into an apartment. Again, I’m 13 and I don’t really know what I will be doing then.
