16 Useful Hours of Financial Training

Read the attached article [from the Press Democrat] written by a teen about a 16 hour finance class he was pressured into taking by his parents.  As you read this article, consider the fact that we are in the only Personal Finance class still offered on a high school campus in all of Lake County.

Create a new Microsoft Word document with the heading, "Personal Finance Thoughts".  Answer the following [Note: Use real paragraphs... not just a sentence]:

1. In a paragraph, summarize the article and give your thoughts on what the author said.  
2. In a paragraph, explain what your initial thoughts are about saving money.  When should you start?  How much should you save?  Why is it important?  Etc.
3. In a bulleted list, tell me what you would like to know about saving, investing, loans, and money in general.

When you have completed this assignment, you can work on your typing or practice for the Typing Test (G) on Monday.
