Description: Personal Finance is a course of practical information designed to provide students with the knowledge and
skills necessary for successful money management. Making wise decisions and establishing short and long-term financial
goals are essential “life skills” that young people often fail to benefit from during their early wealth-building years. Students
learn to plan for their future through in-depth lessons on money management, banking, calculating payroll earnings, tax
obligations, insurance, investment securities, and credit responsibilities. Students participate in classroom activities, in-
class banking and stock market simulations, and hands-on projects to fully integrate business applications. Students also
participate in a capstone simulation that ties these critical elements together in an online exercise allowing students to see
the importance of successful money management.
