Beyond Personal Finance
Beyond Personal Finance doesn't just hand your teen a list of terms and hope for the best. It throws him headfirst into the real-world rollercoaster of adult money decisions—without the actual debt. Over the course of this one-semester class (typically counted as ½ credit), your teen will choose a career, get hired, pick a car, rent an apartment, invest in the stock market, pay taxes, plan a wedding, and even budget for kids. Yep. Kids.
Each step is backed by a polished workbook, online worksheets, and short, engaging video lessons that explain what's happening and why. Your teen doesn't just learn theory—he runs numbers and feels the burn of overspending like any respectable grown-up. The program simulates a 20-something life, from a first paycheck to a midlife money crisis, all while he's still safely under your roof.
It's more than just learning how to balance a checkbook (although he'll do that, too). This is the financial dress rehearsal your teen didn't know he needed—minus the audience, plus a solid sense of reality. Real decisions, fake money, actual consequences. He'll walk away with confidence, budgeting skills, and a working knowledge of what it takes to adult well—before real money is on the line.
