2. How to Change a Life (Yours Included) 2 Life as a grownup can be tough. Some adults work so hard, but between bills and taxes, they have very little to show for it. People lose their jobs, get behind on payments, lose their homes and lose their cars. Millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, and many don’t have the savings they need to feel secure in case of emergencies or as they prepare to save for a home, their children’s college, or retirement. 2015 Educurious Partners--All rights reserved UNIT 3 Financial Plan

3. Exploring My Personal Finances 3 Your challenge during this unit was to learn all that you could about personal finances including budgeting, saving, using credit, and investing. The essential question you focused on was “How can learning about money help me plan for the life I want?” 2015 Educurious Partners--All rights reserved UNIT 3 Financial Plan
