Financial Literacy and Budgeting Assignment (Mini Unit)

Attached is a mini-unit on financial literacy. Included are lessons/activities/links relating to credit cards and credit scores. Included is a budgeting assignment that asks students to create a realistic budget based on a career of their choice. They are to input expenses on an editable Google Sheet (which is embedded within the slides). The template contains all the necessary formulas for monthly/annual expenses. In the end, it will also calculate the total annual expenses and savings. There is a follow-up reflection as well.

There is a Canadian focus for this unit. However, the links for the lesson components can easily be adapted to target American students. The assignments are universal.
