National Financial Literacy Month: On-line Resources

National Financial Literacy Month
As I browsed the Internet looking for resources and fun assignments for National Financial Literacy Month here is a little of what I found.

Resource
The College Foundation of North Carolina offers several sets of financial facts sheets. They are well organized and easy to read.  I like these.  I think they could be incorporated into financial literacy lessons and activities.
Topics include:
Financial Health
Financial Services and Strategies
Managing Credit
Financial Aid
Financial Trouble
Insurance
Renting an Apartment
Financial Planning
Saving and Investing
Buying a Car
Buying a Home
Taxes

Quiz
At Go Banking Rates I found a fun financial literacy quiz,“Are you smart enough to be a billionaire?” It only takes a few minutes to complete and is challenging and fun.  There may be lots to talk about after your students take this quiz.  It gives you a good snapshot of what they really know when it comes to personal finance.
This 12 question quiz covers...
Credit Card Interest Rates
Late Fees
Credit Scores
Mortgage Payments
Mortgage Interest Rates
Bankruptcy
Saving for Retirement
Roth IRA
Credit Reports
Credit Scores
Compound Interest
Bank Accounts
Certificate of Deposit (CD)

A Bit of Billionaire History
If facts and history about billionaires interest you check out this pop quiz at Daily Finance– ”Show me the Billions”.  It takes only a few minutes to complete, is fun, and shares a bit of billionaire history.
Thanks for stopping by. I Hope you found this information helpful.  Look for fun, hands-on personal finance lessons and activities at my store at Teachers Pay Teachers.

ang huwarang pamilya

Malapit nang matapos ang Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa. At bilang paggunita sa kahalagahan ng pagmamahal sa sarili nating wika ay tatanghalin ang isang paligsahan sa eskwelahan ng aming panganay na anak. Para sa Junior Advanced Casa, ang paligsahan ay isahang pagbigkas ng tula at ang napiling tula ay:   Ang Huwarang Pamilya   Sa aming tahanan Buo ang pamilya Lubos na kasiyahan Aming nadarama Maaga pa lamang Iyong makikita Haligi ng tahanan Hayun nasa palayan Ilaw ng tahanan Laging nariyan Tunay na mapagmahal Maasikaso talaga Si kuya, si ate Maasahan din Masipag, magalang Magaling sa eskwela Itong aking pamilya Magandang huwaran Sa aking paglaki Sila ang tutularan    We have been egging TL#1 to memorize the poem. It's a bit of a struggle because we exposed him to the English language. Now, we're trying to help him learn to speak in Tagalog. He has already memorized the words but wouldn't listen and try to speak in the proper intonation. He apparently did not inherit my penchant f

a brief trip to (smelly) Manila Zoo

Manila Zoo. There was a time a long time ago when the mere mention of Manila Zoo made me feel giddy with excitement. I have committed to memory a childhood picture where I was happily posing in front of a peacock pheasant. Simple joy! I hail from the province and a trip to Manila used to be so special. What I didn't realize until I had children is that I was lucky to have grown up a probinsyana  - to have the fields, vast expanse of free space and hills as my playground. To have flowers to pluck, leaves to gather, dragonflies to catch, trees to climb, free fresh fruits to eat. My kids aren't as lucky. That's why a trip close to nature is a treat for our children. We brought the kids to Manila Zoo yesterday, as reward to our pre-schooler for winning the Interbranch science quiz bee in school. He loves animals and was happy to see the elephant, the birds, the tigers and the crocodiles. He was indifferent to the smell and the dilapidated look of the zoo. I don't know if Ma

status update (and complaints) on our compliance with Kasambahay Law

Image
We have successfully registered as household employers in all government agencies - SSS, Philhealth and HDMF or Pag-ibig, our household helpers now have their SSS, Philhealth and HDMF numbers and we have paid our contributions for the months of July and August. We are just lucky that the husband had time to line up in SSS and Philhealth and I asked a favor from someone who was going to HDMF. The husband told me the queue in HDMF was the worst. Someone said it was because payment of contributions are also coursed through the HDMF office and not through banks or other payment centers. The government imposed an additional burden on us who employ household helpers. The least they can do is to make compliance less burdensome for us working class who don't have the luxury to take weekdays off. I think I have earned the right to complain. We hire helpers because we don't have the luxury of time. Every precious minute counts. It is the hard truth for parents like us whose days are fill
