About this event

  • 1 hour

This workshop is designed to provide financial concepts in a way that is easy for teens to understand. The group will work through budgeting and purchasing for a party! Budgeting is about making choices between what we need and what we want. Staying on or under a budget reaps positive rewards. You are in charge of your choices, but first you have to be aware that you are making them.


Topics to be covered include:

  • Understanding the difference between a want and a need
  • Understanding the importance of rationalizing needs over wants
  • Using decision making and problem solving skills to come up with the best solution
  • Discussing the importance of a budget and deciphering between needs and wants
  • Understanding the importance of saving and knowing how much things cost


Presented by Christine MacDonald, CPA, CA
