Game of Life: Your Dream Life

-Cooper Casanova
Career: Engineer
Responsibilities: Planning, collaborating with design teams, building. It really
depends on what kind of engineer.

Education: Lots of experience and preferably a Bachelor’s degree. In some more

advanced situations you want a Masters.

Annual Salary: Average slavery being about 100,000 dollars a year

In this specific job position there would not be to much travel and could stay in one
area relatively well.
Education/Training

Schooling: To obtain the career that I would want, your supposed to have your
Bachelors or possible a Masters degree. My stop three colleges to go to would be
Georgia Tech, MIT, and Mines. In each school I could take a specific class depending
on what kind of engineering I would do.

Tuation: Georgia-32,820 MIT 82,730, Mines-18,210,

however for these schools I would attempt a scholarship.
To pay, my parents have saved money for 17-18 years
and should be able to pay most of it. Depending on if I
get a scholarship we will need to take out a loan. As an
example if we could pay 50% for Mines it would be 767
every month for 4 years.
Housing
I would either stay in Colorado, move up to Nebraska, or move down to Wyoming.
These states all have positives and negatives. At the start of my career I will
probably only be able to afford a apartment. Pricing for utilities is a such
Water: 24.28 for 5,000 gallons, additional 3.59 for 1,000 extra galleons used
Electricity: 12.69 for 1 kWh
Gas: 75$ per month
Cable: 49.99 per month
Streaming services: 325.88 yearly
Housing Pictures and details
Looking at housing in Nebraska I saw a good house with
1,710 square feet for 268,000. 3 bedrooms and 2
bathrooms. It's in scottsbluff nebraska. $1,622 in monthly
payment for a 30 year plan.
Transportation
I'll probably be able to afford a car with this job and debt plans. I would need to get
a car loan. Every month if I just got the car I needed not that I wanted the pay
would be 387.23 a month. This would go on for four years before getting paid off.
Insurance yearly for a 21 year old male would be about 1,184 annually.
Family
I would like to have a family, 2-3 kids. Child Care would cost a crazy 952 per month
so with 3 kids its 2856 per month. Food weekly will cost about 300$. Kids going
into sports will coast from 500$-1500 per year. Activities in nebraska can be done
without anything expect cold weather gear. Again, the yearly healthcare if nothing
bad happens will be around 1,000$ yearly. Adding it all up the average cost of
having a single child yearly is around 5,642$.
 Hobbies
Fishing: Early on it's cheap but poles depending on what kind of fishing can cost up to 200$ and you might want
more than 1 per person. You also might need waders and special backpacks. It's a one time spend every 4 or so
years so annually probably only 500$ annually.

Hunting: This is an expensive sport. Each license or tag can cost 200$ for non residents 90 for residents. The guns
cost from 300-1,000 dollars and ammo is 50 bucks for a box. Annually it could be up to 1,000$ att most.

Camping: You need tents, sleeping bags, cooking gear, and maybe a cot or blow up mattress. Yearly this could cost
up to if not more then 1,000 dollars.
Hobbies Part 2
Sports: This is cheap unless you purchase a basketball hoop or you a high level
athlete. Then you have to purchase a nice ball. At most 500 dollars a year.

Filming: It depends on at what level, at a high level with cameras lights and
noon-homemade props it could put you 1,500 dollars in per year. With just your
phone and some homemade props it's only going to be 100 or so bucks.
Travel
Preferably I would like to travel to europe and to bordering states every year. Places
like France, Italy, Britain, Switzerland, Colorado, Wyoming, and florida. For Two of
these we can just drive. The rest will go on planes. To florida to go hangout with
relatives and it's 300 dollars for one person there and back. Because we have family
there we don't need hotels so its cheap enough. One trip there and several trips to
wyoming and colorado. Costs 2,000 per year with everyone's tickets + gas money.
Travel (Long distance)
Europe is when it gets expensive, 1,300 for there and back for one person not
including hotels and renting a car. 513$ for the car, 110$ a night for a decent hotel.
All and all a Italy or french trip could cost up to 1,246 per person. I would plan to
do local trips one year or small ones every year and one large Europe trip every
other year.
