Financial Literacy

Jennifer Rosin
I teach 5-12 Instrumental Music and throughout the course of the year we talk often about budgeting as it applies to our program, so we are able to talk about wise purchases or whether or not we have the funds to make a certain purchase or whether we need to fundraise.  I also think it is important to talk to the kids in their lessons and just make them aware of saving, spending, credit, and other money related areas.  Too often in today's society we use "plastic" to pay for things and kids often just think the money will be there.  It is important to know how to be smart with money so that when they become independent adults they do not get themselves into a sticky situation.
