"Money Medical: Healthy Money Management" helps youth improve their money management skills and their personal relationship with money. There are eight units of instruction, each with interactive exercises, handouts and homework. "The Big Book of Money Health," is included and is required for each student. The Teacher's Guide provides step-by-step instructions for all activities.

Topics include:

• Tracking spending
• Building a budget
• The ABCs of Spending
• Credit cards and loans
• Credit reports
• Where to Get Help
• Money scripts
• Change

Each class takes about 45 minutes; times vary based on class participation and discussion. Plus, students will work independently on activities to track their spending, sort their expenses into categories, build a budget, examine their own personal attitudes and beliefs about money, and more.
