Assignment Instructions:
For this assignment, write a summary of what you learn from the example budget (budget file is attached). I am also attaching a sample assignment to show the format that the teacher wants.
1. Does your income exceed your expenses?
o If so, how much are you saving each month and is it enough? How do you know it is enough?
o If not, what are your goals for addressing the deficit (i.e. job change, cut back on expenses, etc)
2. How is your short-term savings—if you had an emergency, would you have enough in savings to handle the situation?
3. Why is a savings account important? How much do you need to have in savings? What are some tips to accumulating savings?
4. What else did you learn from this budgeting exercise that could help you and/or your family finances going forward?
Write a 3 page paper that addresses these questions after completing your budget worksheet.
Use the template provided. Follow APA format, including a title page, introduction, conclusion, citations, and a minimum of one reference (not Wikipedia or Investopedia). See the attached PPT file.

Title of Paper in Bold Centered
Student Name
American Public University
COURSE####: Course Title
Instructor Name
Due Date
Repeat the Title – Level 1 Header
Hit the tab key one time to begin the main body of the paper. The paragraphs of the main document are indented. The computer will wrap your text for you based upon the margin settings established by this document template. It is not necessary for you to hit the Enter or return key at the end of a line of text. Only hit the enter key (one time) when you reach the end of a paragraph.
Then hit the tab key to indent and then continue typing the paper. In APA any source that you use in your paper must have an in-text citation. In APA these citations include the author’s last name and the year of the publication in parentheses (Name, Year).
Level 2 Header use: Flush Left, Bold, Title Case Heading
Sub-section your essay using sub-headers in the same sequence you introduced your topic in your lead paragraph, your thesis.
Level 3 Header use: Flush Left, Bold Italic, Title Case Heading
The more lengthy or complex your essay, the potential for using additional Level Headers; notice the subtle difference. One tip for any submission, always double-check the font choice is consistent throughout the essay.
Conclusion
Begin to summarize the main points of your topic in three to five sentences. The conclusion of your paper should re-phrase the points of what your reader should be left remembering, nothing new, concise and to the point.
