Financial Literacy 30

The Financial Literacy 30 course focuses on seven areas: Earning, Saving, Spending, Borrowing, Sharing, Investing and Protecting. The course addresses more complex financial issues and decisions that students may already be facing while highlighting others they are likely to face within the first few years of graduating high school. It touches upon more complex topics such as home ownership; debt management, including bankruptcy; purchasing and leasing property including vehicles, and planning for the future; all part of a lifelong financial journey.
