NEFE High School Financial Planning Program

During the next two weeks we will be working through the NEFE High School Financial Planning Program workbook.  This is a good, rounded introduction to personal finance for young people.  It covers topics such as financial planning, budgeting, investing, credit, insurance, and your career.  We will be working through the book, doing some basic homework (mostly involving keeping track of spending, researching prices of items, interviewing friends or family, etc.), and then working on some financial simulations.

We will also continue working on typing during this time.  I expect everybody to spend 10 minutes at the beginning of the period working on "Measurement Writing" exercises in the MicroType Pro program.  I will begin administering typing tests very soon.
