Adam,
Was supposedly the first man on Earth.
Shouldn’t the name get respect?
Of course all names are open to its flaws,
The name Adam is open to the cruel demise made by mankind,
Perpetrated by youngsters,
It’s like a second grade torture chamber,
Waiting till the next victim
Comes by with a easily picked on name,
To the one that holds the name,
You will go to the shark hole if u get tongue tied
With the basic four letter word,
It wasn’t by choice and not intended to be a mockery,
A bully will push you in the pool of razor sharp needles,
Complimenting the word Adumb.
I know it not’s true and not who I am
But it is still a forbidden word.

You are going to get some practice with a spreadsheet to keep track of your personal expenditures for five days. You will total the amount spent on each day and total the amount spent on each category. (You must use formulas to do all calculations to receive credit for this assignment.)

For example: You might decide to keep up with your expenses for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday for one week. You will need to write down all money that you spend and for what you spend it.

I didn't spend any money this week!.....

Create the spreadsheet using dates and topics of your choice. These column headings will indicate what you spent your money on during the five days.
Enter all your information into the spreadsheet. Be sure to format money as dollars and cents
