Personal Finance

We want students to recognize the importance of personal finance and how it can help them avoid the struggles associated with poverty. So after we introduce some of the themes around poverty, we want to have them think: 1. How can personal finance help people in poverty? 2. How can personal finance help people escape poverty? 3. How can personal finance help me to avoid poverty? These are some of the reasons we teach about poverty. However, this is something I am going to reflect upon with students throughout the year. The importance of poverty in the equation of personal finance is paramount. We teach about poverty so that students: 1. will have empathy. 2. will understand how to manage finance at any level. 3. will understand how to help themselves and the ones they love. I want to empower students and help them avoid poverty, but I don't want students to think that poverty is somehow a failure. I don't want them to oversimplify the complexity of the issue. How d
