Cents Ability

Today the lesson went well. The students seemed eager to learn about investments and mostly the entire class participated in the discussion and asked questions. I introduced the topic of investments with a quote by David Bach, a personal finance author, who said that financial education should not only be for the rich kids but it should also be taught to the lower class. I agree with the quote because most people will open up a credit card or want to invest in something at some point in their life and if they have the opportunity to learn about investment and finance, they will make better choices and decisions. After reading and discussing the quote, I went into detail about the two primary factors, risk and return, when making an investment decision. Overall, the lesson went well and I was happy to see that students were interested in this topic.
