Project Overview
Project Overview
In the project, students look forward 10-15 years and create a financial portfolio to help them achieve their future lifestyle and monetary goals while also learning about the importance of planning for unexpected adversities. They will create a variety of artifacts—physical and digital—and deliver presentations as they explore the steps required for a secure financial future.
The project is divided into four discrete steps, each of which has an essential question that students will answer.
MY SAVINGS PLAN
How do you plan to save money throughout your lifetime?
MY BUDGETING HABIT
What can you do to help prevent overspending?
MY CREDIT SCORE
How does a credit score influence the things you can buy?
MY INVESTMENT PLAN
How can investing in the markets help you to earn more money?
