Budgeting: Finding Personal Financial Success

During this lesson, students will learn about checks, budgets, credit scores, and the importance of insurance. They will then have a home centered activity to focus on their future lives, which they will use in class to create a practice budget, a reflection, and a final version of their budget for their lives after they have finished their education and/or job training. They will then play a game featuring various scenarios that can positively or negatively impact their budget. The summative activity is a written essay encompassing all that they learned throughout the lesson.
