Course IntroductionA person's financial health is rooted in a solid understanding of basic financial principles and practices. With the number of persons filing for bankrupcy ever growing and the uncertain nature of economics, it is paramount our young people be endowed with the tools needed to sustain prosperous livelihoods. Personal Finance will teach students how to manage day-to-day finances, set and attain both short-term and long-term financial goals, invest for their future, and learn how to be financially responsible and independent. Using real-life math skills, students will learn how to file taxes, determine if life insurance is right for them, how to retire a millionaire on a minimum wage job, and so much more!
