Finances
Personal finance? Financial life skills? What's that? Why should I care? Consider:
- Only 4% of high school students think they are knowledgeable about money and spending.
- Only 13% of Grade 10s say they regularly budget their money.
- Most students want more information about managing their money.
It's simple:
- You want money - enough to live the kind of life you see for yourself.
- You want to keep your money safe.
- That means avoiding the BIG, EXPENSIVE mistakes some people make.
- You want your money to work for you.
