Dollars and Sense

It’s a sign of the times that kids don’t really understand how our financial system works. In fact, a Federal Reserve survey found that high school seniors were only correct half the time when asked questions about personal finance and economics.  Realityworks’s TimeMAPS Money Management and Life Skills Program can help with real-world training that can help them be more dollar savvy. There are 54 lessons with topics ranging from credit and debt to budgeting and retirement that are taught through 140 examples. The program includes a glossary that contains definitions of more than 700 terms.
