Reflection: After completing the Reality Check activity and reviewing your expenses, what does it mean for your future goals? (Topics to think about: Did your salary needs surprise you? Was your budget more or less than you expected? Does your budget fit within your salary projections? Does this budget match with the life style you want? What impact does this budget have on your career choice?)
