Week 2 Capstone
Get Started with Your Plan by Completing 6 Data Cards

- Savings
- Net Worth
- Expenses - Detailed Worksheet (remember to consider all of the expenses that will be a part of your “Budget” after you graduate and are living on your own.
- Goals - For the Capstone, you will list all of the goals you want to achieve in the next 25 years, but don’t worry about getting them all listed for this assignment. Just list the goals you know you want to include right now.
Moving forward, we’ll talk about the Capstone Assignment in our Weekly Zoom Meetings every Tuesday at 10 am.
Part Three: Review Your Detailed Expenses (in your planning portal)
Do your best, but don’t spend too much time making your budget perfect — you’ll spend more time working on your income and expenses later. For now, just jump into your financial planning portal and update your income and the detailed expenses as seen in this week’s video tutorial for this assignment.
When I grade this assignment, I’ll be especially interested in seeing your “Income and Expenses” so make sure to grab a screenshot of this section of your plan.
