In the long run, I can see how the things I learned by doing
this project are going to be very applicable. Even if it is not about
purchasing a home, this project teaches how to look at your finances from
various different viewpoints. In my opinion, setting up real life scenarios is
the most effective way to teach students how to come up with the best possible
solution to a problem. This project changed the way I think about buying a home and really
made me analyze my future plans. I have always known that all loans deal with a
lot of math, but I never realized how many different possibilities there are.
It surprises me to see how much there is to gain by handling your finances
right, and it surprises me more that not a lot of people can figure it out. All
in all, this project made me feel confident about my future with mortgages,
loans, and other finances.
