EW! Presents: A Reality Check!

Want the big house? The fancy car? The plasma screen TV? The 13 kids? That's great! (Okay so maybe just 3 kids, but I'm not telling you how to live your life.)
But how much is that lifestyle going to cost you?? Think you can afford all that on an underwater basket weaver's salary? If you said yes to the last question, then it sounds like you need a...REALITY CHECK! (Besides an apparent lack of financial literacy, you also seem to lack an in-depth knowledge of the viability of underwater basket weaving as a profitable career.)

So check out this nifty link! You click your preferences for how much you're willing to spend on things like food, transportation, housing, etc. and then you get a REALITY CHECK (this is not an actual check, it cannot be cashed at any bank) that tells you how much money you'll have to make to afford that lifestyle and what kind of jobs and education can make it possible.
