DO NOT POST AN ANSWER THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN HERE.

Describe an experience of your own that involved estimating costs for a home project or an event (such as a party). Explain how you estimated the total costs/budget for this. Were there any unexpected costs? Compare the estimate with the actual cost. What lessons did you learn from this experience?

Submission Format:

Respond to the discussion topic with a main post of at least five sentences in length. It must thoughtfully address the question asked. Include examples and links resources, if appropriate.

Make your original post prior to the due date so other students have enough time to respond. Initial posts made on the due date will lose points for being late.

React to two posts from fellow students. Your responses should be at least three sentences each and must either clarify points or suggest additional considerations. A simple 'I agree' statement will result in no credit.
