#ADULTING Project: Overview
Purpose:

The purpose of this project is to get you thinking about your future so that you can align your current
choices with your future goals. Throughout this project, you will picture the life you’d like to build for
yourself and learn the necessary steps for you to achieve that life. It will also show you how your
current choices can drastically alter the direction of your life.

Yes, this project is going to require you to do math because, after all, you need to be able to
determine income, taxes, bills, etc. Math is required when you are #adulting. But equally as
important—this project will require you to think about your own personal goals and help you build a
plan for how to achieve them.

Time Line:
This project will be a long one, and it will be worth 30% of your 2nd marking period grade. Because of
the length and importance of this project, there will be multiple due dates that you will have to meet
in order to remain on track for completion. You cannot skip steps and you should not miss any
deadlines.
