ECN 305 -- The Economics of Personal Finance, Assignment #A2 

(Due on date and time in course syllabus)

Note: Where different, the instructions on this Assignment supersede those regarding when I go over the Assignment on the videotape.

At the very beginning of this course, you were given the following assignment (italics added).

“My Future Life”

Write a paper of a minimum of 3 double-spaced pages that tells me a story about what you think your future life will be like.  Please address the following questions: (1) what will be my occupation and how that will change over time; (2) where will I live and if that changes over time; (3) will I be married and, if so, what age I’ll get married; (4) will I have children and how many (boys or girls); (4) when I’ll retire and what I’ll do then.  Go into as much detail as you’d like.  Please, though, avoid saying “I don’t know” – that part is clear.  The purpose of this exercise is to give some sort of projection about your own future.  Enjoy!   

Assignment #A2

Please read again what you wrote.  Then list seven methods or products from Personal Finance that we’ve covered in this course that you can use to help you achieve this life.  Please list them as bullet points for ease of grading.  In each case write a sentence putting forth the method or financial product.  Then provide a sentence describing how you can use it effectively in the context of your future life, especially based upon what you’ve previously written.  Try to be as specific as possible.  Here is a suitable example (please don’t use it).

• I intend to carry a suitable amount of cash.  In this way it will be a part of my liquid assets and help me to make purchases.
