Financial Literacy for carpentry students

Barry Ben Molloy
I teach Home Building so there are many opportunities to introduce finance in the curriculum. The issue most high school graduating students need help with is how to manage the purchase of their first truck. The first construction job is during the summer while working 40-50 hours a week. With this big pay check many have gone out to buy that dream truck. More than 50% of these students have than new truck repossessed within 24 months. With this course I hope to write a lesson plan that will help the student to calculate how much to spend on that truck.
