  • My Birth

    My Birth
    SCARCE
    I was born an only child. I cost a lot of money because of baby food and diapers.
  • Kindergarten

    Kindergarten
    COST
    I started Kindergarten around this date. It is a cost because on one hand starting school could save me money in the future, it could make me money, or it could cost me a lot of money to get a full education. This may be the single biggest economic decision of a person's life.
  • Tae Kwan Do

    Tae Kwan Do
    CHOICE
    I started Tae Kwan Do when I was 4. It was a choice to learn how to defend myself. The life lessons I learned, including respect and integrity, are lessons I can use in a workplace and possibly make more money and be more respected.
  • Baseball

    Baseball
    COST
    Had my first ever baseball tryout. It cost my family a lot to play baseball for almost 10 years. Had I gone through with it, I could've potentially made millions and been set for life, money-wise.
  • Black Belt

    Black Belt
    SCARCE
    I earned my black belt in Tae Kwan Do when I was 9 years old. I was the second youngest in the state to earn one, making it very scarce.
  • Crash

    Crash
    COST
    My dad's truck was crashed into outside our house and was alomost totaled. It took about $4000 to completely repair it and paint it. It eventually became my truck.
  • Outdoor Lab

    Outdoor Lab
    SCARCE
    I went to Outdoor Lab in 6th grade. It's scarce because Colorado is the only state that does it and not many counties in CO do it. Telling future businesses that I participated in this can help me make more money.
  • High School Starts

    COST
    High school starts. This is the last form of public education I will recieve. After this I have to pay a lot for education.
  • Driver's License

    Driver's License

    I got my driver's license. We had to pay for insurance and gas for another car. We also had to pay for repairs on another car other than my parents'.
  • Senior Year

    Senior Year
    COST
    This is my last year of high school. After this year, I have to pay for college for several years. I have to start paying for my own insurance and cars.
