Simple Interest, Compount Interest, Saving & What I learned from Ms.Austin

Simple Interest is interest payed on the principle alone.
 
Formula:
Compound interest is when interest is added to the principal of a deposit or loan.
 
Formula:
 

Savings: the money one has saved, esp. through a bank or official scheme

What I learned from Ms. Austin:
I learned that if I put my money in savings and leave it there for a long time, over the years I will get money back just for keeping it there and if I have compound interest, the interest will keep increasing by the new interest amount.

My Summer!

This summer I didn't really do much I relaxed, watched TV, and slept. In July I got a summer job at the Legal Defenders Office and I made copies, faxed documents, scanned, filed, and the typical office jobs. I didn't really do anything fun this summer due to the summer job but it gave me an opportunity to volunteer there during the year!

3 favorite new cars

A 2008 Range Rover costs about $82,000 I would want to own one because it is safe and reliable.

A Ford F150 costs $43,600 I would want to own one because trucks are really pretty and the are reliable.

A Toyota Corolla costs $17,300 I want one because I prefer cars and its safe and reliable as well.
