Relating Planning one's finances to the Common Core

Elizabeth Kreder
In one are of the Core, the following tenets are offered:
Recognize the impact of fees and charges.

    Identify options for online financial transactions (buying, making payments, transfers, etc.).
    Understand the distribution of resources.
    Identify options for distributing resources.
    Analyze short– and long–term benefits of different resource allocation opportunities.
    Create a personal spending plan to include savings, spending, giving, and/or investing consistent with their financial goals.

To be successful the student must be able to juggle many more real world concepts and balance them appropriately. Very difficult.  Hopefully with teaching it in school, the student will be better prepared.
