Your Finances and the Future

It’s been said that money isn’t all that matters, but it sure beats whatever comes in second. There is some truth to this: it’s not that people should value money above all, but rather that money is an easily identifiable source of enormous stress and friction in many people’s lives.  
But it doesn’t have to be that way!  

You can do yourself no bigger favor than beginning to plan for your financial future today.  This class will walk you through the basics of planning for retirement, saving, and investing.  Invest a little time today and save yourself countless headaches in the future!

As a student, you probably feel like you've got your hands full just balancing your studies and your social life—and trying to get some sleep on the side. 
Learning about personal finance may seem like too much to worry about,but putting it off will only make things more difficult for you in the future!  
We’re here to make it easy for you to learn the essentials of managing your financial life.  We’ll provide you with tips and insights on managing your budget, your credit cards, and your credit score, as well as paying taxes and mitigating the danger and harm of identity theft.

Here at North Star Charter School we are dedicated to offering our students every opportunity to explore both areas of advanced study and areas of potential career opportunities. This course is designed to offer this exploration.

I am looking forward to exploring the future with you 8th grade students of North Star Charter School!
