Planning Process
Planning Process • Identify Concerns: Our main concern is our budget. We plan to create a vacation that does not exceed the amount of money saved. • Set a Goal: The goal for this life event is to travel and see the Caribbean before we start the rest of our lives, trying to figure out what we want to do. The main goal is to make it a memorable vacation that we can look back on in the future. We will be able to say that we lived with no regrets, because we made a plan and accomplished the life event under budget. We will be able to truly say high school was the best times of our lives. Our goal is to embrace traveling the world before we head off to college and start the next chapter .
Planning Process • Form a Plan: • Who: Madison Kelly and Megan Gebhard will be attending the event. • What: The event is a seven-night vacation on the Oasis of the Seas cruise ship. • Where: The cruise goes to three main stops in the Western Caribbean. Labadee, Haiti; Falmouth, Jamaica; Cozumel, Mexico; Fort Lauderdale, Florida are the four ports involved with the cruise. • When: The flight arrives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Saturday, June 8th, 2013. Our flight returns on Sunday, June 16th, 2013. • Why: To celebrate our accomplishments during our high school years. • How: We will put forth the effort and hard work now to save enough money in order to enjoy the luxuries of the cruise and the Caribbean.
Planning Process • Act: We will act on the life event plan by working numerous hours in our jobs and setting aside 50% of all earnings toward the cruise. We will follow all of the steps of our planning process. Our financial plan was helpful to determine what our budget was so we could comparison shop and prioritize what goods and services we will choose for this event. • Follow Up: We will make a scrapbook with all the pictures from the cruise and maintain contact with all the new people we meet on the cruise. This is to make sure we can never forget our senior year trip on the Oasis of the Seas. We will thank all of our friends and family for the support and advice used for planning this cruise.
Graduation Caribbean Cruise • Goals: -To experience as many new things on the cruise as possible. We want to do things that we would be to scared to do on a regular basis, such as trying octopus or other extravagant food, or swimming with sharks . -To experience new cultures around the world. We want to meet as many people as possible and hear all about the differences in life as you travel across the globe. -To enjoy the breath-taking Caribbean, and not go over budget saved for our senior year trip. • Saturday, June 8th, 2013-Sunday, June 16th, 2013
Needs Vs. Wants Needs Wants • Cruise fare which includes food and room • Means of travel to and from Fort Lauderdale, Florida • The role of needs should be accounted for first in the comparison shopping because they are necessary for the event to take place. • Souvenirs to remember the cruise • Shore excursions • The role of wants should be accounted for if and only if we have left over money from our budget once all the needs are paid for.
Role of Values and Priorities • To do shore excursions that are time consuming, inexpensive, and activities we have not experienced before. • To pick a ship that has many activities to do aboard at sea. • To purchase a cheap, direct, morning flight. • To select a time of year that is sunny and cheap for a cruise. • To elect a cruise line with the highest customer satisfaction. • To present personal opportunities to develop our personality and prepare us for our adult lives
Financial Plan • Here is how we will address the financial challenges: • We will save money by selecting a cheaper cruise room. • We both have full time jobs set up for the summer of 2012. • 40 hours per week and 12 weeks in the summer making $8.00 an hour gives us $3,840 each over the summer. • During our senior year, our jobs will become part time. • 20 hours per week working 40 weeks gives us $6,400 each during our senior school year. • If we save 50% of earnings from our jobs, we will put away $5,120 each for this event. • Total budget = $10,240 • The financial challenge in planning the event is that the cruise we choose is the biggest, newest ship. The price for the cruise fare will be expensive. • We also choose to do many shore excursions at the ports.
Comparison Shopping
Comparison Shopping • We learned comparison shopping presents opportunities to assume responsibility and make decisions.
Event Plan Budget= $10,240 Total Cost of Life Event= $3,633 Money left over: $6,607
Resource Summary We have learned that it is essential to use a variety of resources to obtain as much information on a subject as possible. Resources are plentiful, you just have to search for them. We believe that you must use many resources to fully understand the subject. Sticking to one resource can limit knowledge on the topic. We also learned some resources are biased and can sway your opinion. Resources can be good sources of advice in tough decision making processes. If you are comparison shopping a service, you can use resources to determine pros and cons. Overall this project could not have been completed without the help of resources.
