Financial Literacy in HS and Middle School classrooms

Conversations that take place between educators and HS and MS students about a number of subject all have opportunities to encourage students to become financially literate.

Students have jobs- talking with them about how they spend their money and how they plan their spending is important.

Talking with students about life plans ( what will you do for a living? ) also has a financial literacy component.  What can they afford to do for a living? Are they making a choice to do what they love or to earn a maximum amount of money?
