Personal finance students at WHHS learned all money management today in the first of four presentations by The M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy Program! This program is a joint project of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts and the Boston Bar Association. Today’s session was about personal finance and budgeting, in which students learned about banking basics, bank accounts, accessing funds and paying expenses, pay stubs, income tax basics, managing income and expenses, and avoiding fraud. The next three sessions are focused on the use of credit cards, making large purchases, and the consequences of poor financial decisions.
