On The Money - Financial Literacy 0.5 credit Grades 10, 11 and 12 Do you have a love-hate relationship with money? Do you know where your money goes? Today’s teens as a group spend more than $150 billion each year. Greenbacks or plastic? How do we earn it? How do we spend it? How do we invest it? How do we save and protect it? According to former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, the problem with today’s young society is the lack of financial “literacy,” or knowledge. Financial knowledge is like a puzzle – it’s only possible when you have all the pieces in hand, and know how to fit them together in the right order. On The Money will teach you important financial concepts about spending, saving, credit, taxes and other issues facing young adults, and how to apply those concepts in a systematic order that will provide a solid foundation for financial success.
