Money, Money, Money

As we have been learning in our study of economics and trade, everyone is affected by money. We earn, spend it, save it, lose it, and even give it away. How we use our money says a lot about us and what we care about in the world. With that in mind, please answer the following questions:

1. If you had an extra $1, what would you do with it?
2. If you had an extra $10, what would you do with it?
3. If someone gave you $100, what would you do with it?
4. If someone gave you $1000, what would you do with it?
5. If you won the lottery and received $1,000,000, what would you do with it?

Expectations: Answer each of the five questions (using complete sentences and correct conventions) by Wednesday, 5/20. Respond to a classmate's post (agree, disagree, question) by Friday, 5/22.
