This curriculum has changed how our whole family views finances. My teenage boys have an emergency fund, have paid cash for their first vehicles, are saving for college and are debt free. Every high school student should be required to take this class. It's excellent!

This is a fantastic program and my 14-year-old son loves it! He does a unit/section every Friday and does so happily. I would encourage anyone to buy this curriculum without hesitation.

This is a high quality, very educational program this is also both engaging and entertaining. The content is age-appropriate, yet way ahead of their years, in teaching about ALL matters of personal finance and awareness and self-accountability and responsibility. I can't recommend this curriculum enough, students and parents alike will benefit from this!
