Maggie’s AnalysisMaggie’s AnalysisMy career as a psychologist will not be able to support my dream of a $3.7 million dollar home. However, it will be able to provide me with a beautiful house and a nice car. My husband will also have a job of course and with our combined income we should be able to enjoy life without the hassle of worrying about money all the time. The money I make from photography will probably go into a savings account of some sort whether it be our child’s education fund or just set back for miscellaneous reasons. We should be able to take family vacations pretty often and be able to spend a little money here and there. We will also make a monthly budget so that we know how much we can or cannot spend.

Nick’s AnalysisNick’s Analysis

My careers should furnish enough money to get me somewhere. The house and the car are simply dreams and probably won’t happen. If I wish for this type of life style, my band will probably have to get signed. I would hope that with these careers, it won’t be a struggle to survive.
