Disposable Income Calculator

My oldest daughter is 20 years old and experiencing life on her own for the first time. She is learning how to manage her money, how to make payments (sometimes on time, sometimes not), and that ATMs at banks won’t give you any money if your account balance is zero, no matter how much you plead with it. Needless to say, it has been a learning experience for her survive when there is too much month left at the end of her money. I showed her today’s Family First site, and while she wouldn’t admit it interested her, she did put it in her bookmarks.

The site is called the Disposable Income Calculator. Here you can see, in dollars and cents, just how much you have after you pay your living expenses, such as electricty, heat, insurance, credit cards, all the necessary evils of everyday life. It can be somewhat sobering. But there is an interesting twist to the site. For example, it can tell you how long you have to work to get a cup of Starbucks coffee (large, of course). Or dinner and a movie, and even that new laptop. If you are feeling humble, you can find out how long you would have to work to become as wealthy as Bill Gates (hint: it is measured in millions of years).
This is very cute site, one that is designed by Wondermill Webworks. They created the site because that is what they do. “Stuff. We do stuff”. Be sure to visit their website, via the link at the bottom of the Disposable Income Calculator.
