Personal Finance
Personal finance is a very important and LIFT offers several personal finance courses designed to significantly improve the student's ability to be financially successful. The courses include how to purchase a car correctly, budget, how much the first job will cost, and how to become financially secure. It is important that the student complete the Pre-Course Assignment to gain the greatest benefit from the courses (assignment below). In addition, all of the excel spreadsheets used for planning will be posted to this site so the student can access anytime when needed (before and after the course), parents are welcome to join in the fun as well. These courses will be offered in January 2012 and are currently listed as available courses online at the student and parent portals. Students can enroll in the available courses at any time.
Pre-Assignment: When dealing with money, it is important to know how much money one has to work with and how much one's expenses will be. It's not rocket science but a practical application to what is available. The Pre-Assignment is to determine potential income and expenses before the course. Every one has an idea of one or more careers/jobs desired after high school or college. Go to www.salary.com , type in your desired job and work location, skip any advertisements (may cost you so avoid), and view the projected salary. Write down the numbers shown at different percentages. Most new employees will be at the lower end of the scale as they have no experience so the average salary is not the expected salary. Write all the numbers and percentages down and bring to the course. Now for the expenses. The largest expense will be housing. Go to www.apartmentfinder.com, enter where you desire to work and look for an apartment that will meet your needs, in fact, write down several potentials. If possible, find out if a deposit is required, if the rent includes utilities (water, electricity, garbage, internet, tv), or any other possible monthly expense. Check back in early December as the files used to analyize the information will be available for download and use. Have a go of it and we will discuss during the course. Good luck
