[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4233461, member: 13337"] Way back in time when dinosaurs walked the earth,,, Part of my 4th grade math curriculum was,,, A year long household budget. We all were given a monthly "paycheck" simulating a job,,, Then we had a list of expenses we had to pay for,,, That included mortgage, car, insurance,,, utilities, food, and insurance. This wasn't an individual teacher made thing,,, It was a planned curriculum with a dedicated workbook. I don't remember all of the individual details of the program,,, But I do remember there being some unexpected expenses factored in. Medical expenses and other emergencies happened randomly,,, But to every student, not just a few. Honestly, after that year I probably knew more about budgeting than my parents did. I have a Master's Degree in education,,, I am appalled by the lack of meaningful education in our modern curriculum. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
