Beginner Level

Students will learn essential financial skills, including saving money, building credit, understanding interest rates, and managing personal budgets using tools like Google Docs and paper ledgers. We’ll use PowerPoint slides, interactive worksheets, and real-life examples of millionaire strategies to make learning engaging and practical.
