Financial Literacy

Lance Evans
I currently teach a Leadership class, weekly, in my Taekwondo school, (for students of all ages) and the focus of that class is obviously how to "become a Leader" -- not just in martial arts, but also at home, school, career, etc.  Financial literacy can easily be integrated into this topic, as taking charge of one's life means the ability to make smart financial choices, such as keeping a savings account, keeping a balanced checkbook, making smart investments, learning the difference between "wanting" and "needing", and knowing how to say "NO" to yourself when faced with something you do want.
