Skills for Real-Life Money Decisions

Earn

Every day brings more everyday things – and they all cost money! Help students learn where money comes from and what they can do to get it.

Save

Saving is a key component of making future dreams come true, so students must turn patience into a bonus by learning what it means to save.

Spend

Knowing the difference between wants and needs helps students prioritize and spend their money more wisely.

Donate

Kids can help make the world a better place by donating their money, volunteering, or giving gently used clothes and toys to those in need.
