Week Four:

1.30.13
I learned in marketing today that understanding consumer behavior is important because it= how consumers make purchases and how consumers use and dispose of products. As a consumer I can't help but reflect on my purchasing decisions. I'm part of the generation Y and right now anytime I spend money I think I'm going to die and starve and never be able to own a car let alone a house. Even though I am fortunate enough to not have expenses right now, I can't help but think about the future and my lack of a continuous income. And with one of my jobs, I pretty much spend my pay check at the store. I am starting a savings plan that I saw on pinterest that is to never spend a five dollar bill. So far I think I've got ten dollars and I'm feeling pretty good about it.
