Budgeting My Money-RanDarius Cooley

During my summer here at Mississippi State University, I have learned many difficult and easy lessons. One lesson I learned was to never shop when you are on a budget. During the Fourth of July, I spent over $250 when I only had $45 dollars in the bank. I went to Tupelo not knowing that there were sales going on. This lesson was difficult because I spent money that I did not have. Once my shopping experience was over I had to replace all of the money that was spent. In the future, hopefully the next I go shopping or out to eat, I need to make sure that I have money in my account, have my gas in my car, and etc. This experience was a lesson learned because I learned that I need to budget my money in a better way than I have been doing. Now that I have learned to budget my money, when I attend school at Mississippi State University in the fall I will know my expenses such as, the prices of things, where banks and ATMS are located, and other things.
