The Fancy House

Say you been a 2 story house in Dalworthington Gardens for 2 years and your neighbors move out. The house that you own decreases in value automatically. The retail value by 10%, so you paid $3300 dollars for your houses now the retail value of your houses is $3000 dollars. a great way to increase the value of your house is to extend is make it bigger, which would cost a little more money but if you want the bang for your buck its worth it. In addition, having a modern bathroom, a big kitchen with alot of work space, and natural materials in your house also so increases the value of your house. When buyers come look at your home and they see natural materials such as ceramic tile, hardwood floors,and granite there going to like that and want to buy the houses for more. Buyers also like master baths that give a little room to roam, along with kitchens that have solid surface counters and high-quality flooring, such as wood, laminate, tile or stone. Making all of these little updated or changes will increase the value of your home and help you get more money.

Hurricane Katrina

Katrina is one of the five of the worlds worst disaster. It is also one of the most costly disaster that happen, Katrina cost approximately $108 billion dollars in damages. At the paste our economy is going the reconstructing of the boot of Louisana will take some time. All the people with that lost of there home, cars, and even family members will alway suffer from the though of the tragedy. Being the fact that everything was underwater and I mean everything there is no food, fresh water, or shelter in order to survive FEMA had to provide everything. With more than 70% of there population to provide for FEMA would have to have a fat check to go out and purchase food, water, and open a facility to put all these people in. To do all this for these people would cost a fortune but instead of trying to fix other countries we need to built in America.

Homecoming

The Oakridge School Homecoming is coming up and with all the things they have going on and all the people that come to do all events I know they generated alot of money. They have homecoming shirts going on sale for $10 dollars and 10 times 3000 is 30,000 dollars going to the school along with the parade. The parade is just a small fee of 2 dollars which will not bring in any money because the parade is only like a max of 100-200 people. The concession stands will bringing major money because when you can buy food and drinks at an event people are most likely going to buy it. The more people there are the lower the prices are going to be. With hot dogs at 2 dollars and hamburgers at 4 dollars and drinks ranging from 3 to 5 dollars people are going to want all three and if 2000 people out of 3000 people buy all 3 then that means $$$$.

I also think there is a deal we you can get all 3 for 5 or 6 dollars.To get food and drinks at an event is a luxury its not something we really have to have. All the money there getting I think money school is making a surplus from all the sales.

LOVE$$$$

LOVE, what is love? Nobody knows but as men we know the cost of it. On that first date you want to take a girl out to the movies and dinner. Lets just stay yall are going to see Paranormal Activity 3, so that’s going to cost you about $18.00 bucks for the tickets plus popcorn and drinks which is another like $20.00 bucks. So that a total of $38.00 dollars off the top and if she is a sweet girl she would want some candy which is an addition $4.50. You’re spending out $42.50 and yall haven’t even made it to dinner yet. For dinner yall chose The Cheesecake Factory, yall order 2 meals, a drink, and 2 slices of cheesecake. That approximately add up to $55.50 dollars, spending a total of $98.00 dollars on your first date, a girl you don’t even know that well. Some might say that not a lot of money but when it coming out of your pocket it’s a lot of money. So when you driving her home you better hope she not in love with you. If it true love let’s just say yall get MARRIED who know how much weddings cost now and days. The average for a decent wedding is $24,000 dollars with is a major deduction in your wallet. Being in love with a girl is cool but it’s also costly.

IPhone 5

When it comes to iPhones they always sell by the millions. Why do they sell by the millions? Because for one the company selling it is Apple™ and for two it's an iPhone 5 the latest one. Apple creates now devices and as soon as they go on sell everybody wants one. Most of these items are luxury but they can all be use for necessary reasons. Apple sells iPhones for about $200-400 dollars and iPads for about $500-700 dollars and on top of that they are selling it by the millions so there bringing in major cake (money). These devices easily go down in value, because if you drop it and the screen cracks (SMITH) then you can't resell it for that much. When somebody brines are crack there iPhone there looking to get another which provides me money for Apple™. Personally, Apple never really change stuff on iPhones and iPads they either make it big or taller or wider or smaller with the addition of a camera. I respect the amount of money Apple™ is bringing in but the at they can do is change it up and give the people there moneys worth!

Cell Phones

When it comes to cell phones, everybody has one now and days, whether it’s the Iphone or The Galaxy Samsung II. Everybody loves to have a phone but the cost of paying the bill is just a pain at least for me, my phone bill is $40 dollars a month. Its probably cheaper plans out there but paying $40 bucks every month has kind of became the norm for me, kind of like you buying $3 dollars and some change at the gas pump. To have a phone is a microeconomics, its an individual decisions to have one, you don’t have to call or text people you can find another way to communicate. We could use a computer and send emails or just send a hand written letter in the mail. I understand having a phone make life A LOT easier but in this down economy we’re in there are a lot of cut back made. People are going laid off their jobs, businesses are closing, and people are cutting back on stuff they really don’t need just to meet the budge. For example, if people need money to pay a bill they will could probably cut off there phone, there children’s phone, and if there in deep trouble they can cut off there whole family plan. So if you need stuff cut back on the items you don’t need, like your cellular phone, movies, and eating out. All of these thing are just elastic items that you really don’t need you just have them because there a luxury to you.

Mayweather Vs. Ortiz

The "Money" Mayweather Vs. "Vicious" Ortiz fight racked in nearly 2 million dollars. In addition it cost $59.99 for anybody who ordered it on pay per view but it was also held at The MGM theater in Las Vegas, Nevada and they always rack in MAJOR MULA.! Alot of people showed up the fight including celebrity like Puff Diddy, Jamie Foxx, and Mark Wahlberg. The MGM seats at least 16800 people and when there's alot of people and people selling food the demand is going to raise. Why? because the more people the more food that is going to be purchased and in addition to that the food is going to be cheap. As demand goes up the prices go down, it's a inverse relationship. The viewing of this fight is a luxury it not something that we actually need it just something people go see to be excited, it's an inelasticity. The fight is something we want to see not something we need to see. Mayweather funded the fight so muc of the money is going to go back to him, MGM will get there cut, and Ortiz lost so there's no telling how much money he is going to receive. Its just alot of money gained in a matter of hours and on top of that it wasnt a really good fight. He cheap shooted him in the 4th round and won. ESPN named the fight "The Weird Classic." So never boxer in a fight funded by Mayweather Productions it all just a big money scam.! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

NBA Lockout

http://www.nba.com/2011/news/07/01/nba-labor-lockout.ap/index.htm

The NBA Lockout has happen because owners and players cant agree on NBA contracts for next season. The most recent lockout was in 1998-1999 season, which caused them to lost 32 games that were suppose to be played. They also don't have enough money to go into the teams salary caps. The only way the NBA season could start right now is to pay every players a value of one million dollars which would be really bad for the NBA also. For example, an NBA team salary cap depends on how much money a team can player their players. If a NBA team had the salary cap of 55.5 million dollars they could get pretty much get any NBA Superstar they want.For example imagine if the Miamia Heat had Bosh,D.Wade,LeBron,Howard,Carmelo,Stoudmare,Jimmer,and Dirk. Which mean they would probably go to the championship every year and when you win championships you get more money. If your team is a highly favorite then their memorabilia sells go up and when their memorabilia sells are extremely high then it becomes a big part of their franchise. They could possibly rack in up to half a billion dollars just off that. Now for other teams that barely get any TV time or hardly sell out there stadium, its hard for them because they don't have any money coming in and that is one of the reason the lockout is taking place. By the time the lockout is over there is most like going to be some teams delete from the league. Either that or there are going to be some teams moved to different state because they don't have enough money to support there team. Its kinda hard when to owner of your team is rich but the team is about to go bankrupt. So when the lockout is over don't be surprised if you see a NBA team called The Salem Sonic s from Oregon or The Chapel Hill Fliers from North Carolina.
