Back from Easter

Hey everyone! I'm glad to be back form Easter Break! So on my arrival back to Peninsula Catholic Economic class we have started to learn about money and banking. We are also doing a game with fake money to simulate real life. As of right now I am not doing good at all. In fact I am in dept right now waiting on my next paycheck. The game just shows how hard life can be sometimes. It also teaches the value of saving your money. We also learned about banks and why it is important to pick the right one. We also learned that is impossible to counterfeit money in US. They have all these security things added to the dollar. It's crazy! That is most of our week so tune in next week for another update! Cya soon!

  1. I really think doing this game with money will really help us all understand how to spend our money wisely, keep a close eye on our bank accounts etc. I am also near debt right now and cannot wait to receive my next paycheck. That was so cool to learn about the different ways of noticing if a dollar bill is real or a counterfeit. It was so fascinating to watch how hard people work to create a real dollar bill as well!

  2. I enjoyed your post. I think that this whole banking thing is a little confusing with all the CDs and I don't even know what else, so hopefully we will learn more in depth about those things. But this week was pretty crazy and I enjoyed learning all the little secrets behind the American currency. I am ready for another week of finance.
