Life of Fred: Financial Choices
Educate your students on the importance of sound financial choices with Life of Fred's trademark humor and pizzazz. Designed to fulfill the need for personal financial literacy skills that math books don't often cover, readers will learn about income and spending ratios, debt, budgeting, setting goals, investments, and other necessary knowledge for functioning as an adult with financial solvency, while keeping the perspective that there are more important things than money! 'Your Turn to Play' exercises are included throughout but rather than focusing only math skills often ask students to reflect upon their priorities, the differences between wants and needs, and where to allot items or expenses. Answers are given on the next page.
Life of Fred: Financial Choices covers a range of topics including the difference between income and assets, budgeting vs. net worth, overspending, asset depreciation, compound interest, life goals, real estate, education, paper things, and owning a business. It also provides guidance on buying furniture, clothes, cars, and deciding whether to buy or rent a home. The book offers a detailed guide to the five asset classes and helps students make informed decisions on spending.
176 pages, indexed, hardcover with Smyth-sewn binding. Answers are included in the text and written directly to the student.
