Assess students' ability to apply personal budgeting and short-term financial planning to develop a realistic, itemized three-month budget for a working high school student. Scope includes calculating net income from part-time wages (including basic deductions), identifying fixed and variable expenses, setting short-term savings and emergency-buffer targets, allocating funds weekly/monthly, forecasting cash flow across three months, adjusting for irregular hours or unexpected costs, and explaining prioritization and trade-offs. Students should submit calculations, a month-by-month budget summary, and a brief justification of adjustments and strategies to stay on budget.
