It is important that teens learn the basics about money at an early age so they understand how to save and not waste money, invest that money and build wealth. Students need to know how to handle managing financial resources to achieve financial well-being when they go out in the world on their own. 

What you will learn: 

• Basic workings of debit & credit cards, mortgages, banking, investment & insurance products, credit reports & scores, bitcoin, NFTs and more. 
• The finances behind going to colleges such as financial aid and loans
