CTE Business and Marketing
Consumer Finance
Have you wondered what you might need to know to be a financially independent adult after high school? My students often call this class “Adulting 101”. Consumer Finance is a 0.5 credit 1-semester course that helps you better understand how to be successful with your finances in and beyond high school. You will never wonder “when am I going to use this” throughout our semester in Consumer Finance. We will explore saving, how banks and credit unions work, goal setting, the basics of investing (YES, it really is possible for you to be a millionaire!), insurance (auto, medical, etc.), career exploration, taxes (we might even do YOUR income taxes as an example in class), and debt avoidance. Have you wondered how loans and credit cards work? Is there a way to “build a credit score” without going into debt? These topics and more will be addressed as we work together to build successful financial skills in Consumer Finance.
