Do you have a teen that might be ready to dive into managing their own money? This is a good beginner course for them! We will cover: * The difference between a debit card and a credit card; and the pros and cons of each. * The difference between banks and credit unions and virtual banks. * How banks make money and the various rules the public plays in that bigger picture. * How to capture financial transactions and reconcile them (and how often). We will include a practice both a check register practice and bank account reconciliation for homework. Students seeking a longer course covering more topics may want to enroll in my Personal Finance course. This can be found both live and FLEX in my teacher profile.

I have done budget and credit consulting for over 20 years. My corporate background is heavily accounting and finance; and I taught business and finance in public high schools. I am a very strong advocate for financial education and do public speaking engagements about kids and money. Additionally, I walk the walk: my own teen has had a debit card and bank account for well over a year already. Reviews
