About This Lesson
Do your students know how their family's monthly budget breaks down and where the money goes? By analyzing data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, students will clearly see how money is allocated to various expenditures on a monthly basis. This is a great way to get students thinking about their own budget and how much they can expect to allocate for different needs and wants.
