Julie in MN Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 1. BJU & ABeka have textbooks, but they are more "mathy" than "consumery" 2. Alpha Omega has workbooks & you can just buy the topics you want. 3. Here are descriptions I had written about 2 books we used: We used an AGS book on budgeting. It is my impression that AGS is used by schools for non-college-bound math & such. Therefore, it is more practical & focused on real-life skills. The assignments are fairly easy, as you are working with a "pretend" person and the exact income & expenses are given in the book. We also used Larry Burkett's Money Matters for Teens, although the assignments in that weren't as easy to work with as the AGS assignments. I believe you were supposed to actually do everything in your own life, rather than having a practice model to work with. There were some good lessons on giving that weren't in the AGS book. (You don't need the "book," only the "workbook.") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
