The Personal Finance class just finished the chapter on budgeting. This topic is can be critical to a student's future financial success. Living within your means is something that definitely takes self control...I will be the first to admit that is much easier said than done!
One thing we discussed in class is the option of creating a family budget. I highly encouraged them to go home and use the class topic as a discussion starter. Maybe you want to save for a family vacation...everyone in the family might be much more supportive of eliminating the "dinner out three times a week" routine if they had all agreed to save that money for the desired vacation.
