Today I did your lesson where the students debate on whether or not a college student should have a credit card. Not only did the students do a great job, they EXCEEDED my expectations. I had a moderator and then the other students were the audience. I felt REALLY proud when students from the audience started asking awesome questions which showed me they were engaged and really thinking about the topic.

Right now I am watching my first period personal finance students as they work on the Budgeting with Roommates activity. I wish you could see them.

I always enjoy this activity as it gets the students thinking about real world issues that they have never really considered.

The mother of one of my students called me to get (Tim’s) contact information. On their daily commute home in the evening, her son was reteaching concepts from our personal finance class. Clearly her son saw the practical value of the lessons and wanted his mother to better handle the family finances.

I predict that the recent trend of peer-to-peer payment could lead to the eventual—and most unfortunate—downfall of ATMs starting in large metropolitan areas. In these markets, more and more people are opting out of using cash and instead...
