Description:
Applying Personal Finance is a choice-based curriculum that will help open students' eyes to the high cost of being an adult by making personal choices & budgets. It is an interactive course that immerses the students in their future and lets them experience ages 22-42 for themselves. Please note the student must have access to a computer and Google as most work is either emailed or shared. It is also helpful to have access to a smart phone for interactive activities in class, but it is not necessary. Check out https://bpfclass.com/ for more information.

Cathy Duffy writes: 
"Beyond Personal Finance is a clever approach to teaching about finances. It goes further into the details of personal financial planning and decision-making than do most other high school courses, and it presents scenarios that are based on common life experiences and decisions. Teens are likely to find this very interesting. The decision choices and plot twists used in the course make it more fun while reflecting the variability and unpredictability of real life." 

From The Old Schoolhouse Magazine: 
"Beyond Personal Finance is an outstanding product. As an adult, I wish I would have had real-life training through an enjoyable course like this. What drew me into choosing it for my child is the unique aspect of offering students opportunities to make choices and see consequences. This is done in a virtual "game of life" type format. For example, the student chooses a career and researches it to learn what education or training is required, what the job outlook is, how much it pays, and what will be expected in a typical day's work."
