These guides contain discussion questions about each chapter of Finance Matters! Exploring Your Assets and Securing Your Future. These questions are open ended and designed for the purpose of developing reasoning and logic in the areas of finance, logic and future ramifications of present behavior. These questions allow for the students to be exposed to many principles outlined in Financial Literacy requirements and may be tailored to meet other requirements.
Another important issue to include in the discussion is the budget worksheet. It can be used in many ways-but the most important is the method of the checklist. This sheet may be used to reinforce the discipline of planning for monthly expenses, charting each expense and adding up the true cost of overhead before spending any money.
As more 'Finance Matters!' books are published, this guide will be expanded to include questions regarding newly introduced principles.
