***** Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Hi, I would like my daughter to learn a bit about personal finance. So this would not be for a grade, but interesting enough that she would work on it for the rest of the summer. She will be a senior this year, and would like her to learn a bit about what real life will cost! It can be computer based or not. Thanks!

nutella08 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Dave Ramsey's Personal Finance Curriculum is currently on sale from HSBC. My daughter finished the Foundations: High School Edition in a few weeks earlier this summer. The videos themselves don't take too much time but there are other supplemental activities depending on whether you want her to do more or less. https://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/dave-ramsey/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 There will be lots of books in the library about establishing small businesses, how taxes work, how to invest in property etc too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch at Home Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Both of my daughters did the Actuarial Foundation course. It is a bit dry but give the student introduction to all aspects of personal finance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Not an entire course, but a summer supplement, could be the Boy Scout Personal Finance merit badge pamphlet. It has some good exercises and projects. I would also suggest a personal finance program, so your dd could develop the invaluable habit of keeping track of her own finances. Paper records will keep track, but not be very good atanalyzing spending. The IRS book on the 1040 form contains a wealth of information. I may be weird, but I find it quite enjoyable to read. It will help you understand details that you will miss if you just use a turbo tax type of program. https://www.scoutlander.com/Common/DownloadAttachment.aspx?SID=ONN2lYfs30a3Nq9USlVTNw%3D%3D https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf Edited July 31, 2017 by Alessandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
