How does this relate to the real world

For me as I was going into developing my CAS project I really was taking into consideration the seventh learning outcome. Which is about understanding the ethical implications of your CAS project. Therefore in my project, I really wanted to make sure that I could have a positive impact on someone’s life and create long-lasting change for the good with my project. My first idea when thinking of the investment club was about investing in the US stock market. I have always believed that the stock market is where you make money. The richest people in the world mostly got their billions from investments and holdings in the stock market. Therefore I felt and still feel that teaching people how to invest in the stock market would be a way to foster positive financial change. Although it was brought to my attention the fact that only US citizens with US social security numbers can invest in the US stock market; so how was I going to make it more acceptable. I thought about other generalized forms of investments like real estate. I have an understanding that in Costa Rica real estate is the main form of investment in the country. Therefore I plan to be able to teach people to invest in real estate. But then I approached a new problem, real estate investments require lots of capital. SO, how do you get capital. This is where my goal for my project starts to form. I realized that if I want to teach about investing I also need to teach about how you get to the financial status to invest. This is where I realized that my project can be a mix of investments in the stock market and real estate but really I could just use it as a way to teach about budgeting and financial stability. Allow students, parents, teachers, and members of my community to understand how a bank works, how to live under what you make, how to save money, the value, and importance of saving money, and more. All of these clear issues and barriers to financial growth within families. So my goal is to be able to help facilitate financial growth for families and individuals.
