Some great financial literacy websites to kick off budgeting units, this is mostly USA specific data:
Financeintheclassroom.org - a bunch of resources
How to read a pay stub
Guide to buying a home
Practice interview questions
Understanding a credit card statement
Understanding personal financial goals
And a bunch more…..
dallasfed.org - Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
explains a lot of the lingo in budgeting, information is chunked for easy reading
playspent.org - Urban Ministries of Durham
An online 'game' students play individually to try to make it through a month on $1000. Eye opener to the challenges of poverty and losing one's job.
Jumpstart.org - Reality Check - Financial smarts for students
Students click choices for their dream life. The website with real financial data gives then an idea of how much it will cost and jobs that might help them achieve it.
