 One of my favorite topics to learn about in this class was the payroll  processing. Mostly because it was straight-forward math. This class was  really challenging for me, so the payroll week was definitely nice. The  other topic I learned about I wouldn't say I enjoyed necessarily, but it  did satisfy my curiosity and that was about depreciation. I had taken a  real estate class a couple of years ago and we had discussed  depreciation of buildings for commercial properties and I had always  been curious about how it is set. Hearing that it wasn't necessarily  driven by a market was really irritating to me, so it was nice to figure  out how it is calculated.

There are quite a few things that I learned  that I think will come in handy in the future. However, I think I would  be a lousy accountant.

The first topic that interested me the most during this course was stocks.  I have invested in stock for years but never really understood how they worked.  I also thought it was interesting that putting money into your own business is really just buying common stock.  I hope to own my own business someday and understanding those concepts will help.  I also found depreciation for assets interesting.  I see depreciation options on turbotax every year when I do my taxes for some rental properties that I have but never understood what they were asking.  This is something that I can use now and in the future when I start my own business.
