Currently, I have a student that is enrolled in a Personal Finance class. As his paraeducator, I am finding it beneficial to be taking a course at the same time. Although I already have a rough idea of what the class is all about, I still find it to be refreshing. My student is currently learning about sinking funds and why it is a great way to break down the cost of big purchases. He has no idea why he should be saving money, why he should have an emergency fund, nor why he has to limit his spending. This class will be very beneficial for him as he is a senior and will most likely move into a group home within the next 4 years. He will need to know how to manage his money in a better way.
