"Personal Finance offers students the opportunity to learn the skills they need to manage their financial lives. No matter what career you pursue of what path you take in life, at some point, you will be dealing with money. Having the knowledge of how taxes work, net worth, cash flow, and more, helps one better understand money and make smarter decisions in the future."
Student: Peter LoSasso
Teacher: Sara Shackett
School: Lakewood High School (Lakewood, CO)
"My personal finance class was, hands down, the most useful class I've ever taken... personal finance taught me the skills I didn't realize I needed... After taking this class, I have taken steps towards a more stable and healthy life. I have gotten a credit card as to start building good credit, looked more carefully at college and the cost of living, and even made goals for my future self to accomplish."
