About This Lesson
Do you often hear your students saying, "I just don't know how I'm going to pay for college" or "I have a paycheck, but I end up spending most of money - I don't know where the money goes!"? In this case study, students are given a real-life scenario and will approach these very concerns by helping a "friend" create a budget for her life. This is a fantastic way to get students thinking about how they can budget their money effectively now, in college, and beyond.
