Money Habitudes 2® for At-Risk Youth
What money means, and why it matters.
Adapted by: Evan Gimpel, Counselor, Trapper Creek Job Corps
Ages: 16-24 years
Length: 3 one-hour lessons
These 3 practical lessons about the psychology of money are an essential precursor to financial literacy education for at-risk youth. The lessons are ideal for grant funded and community settings.
Money Habitudes 2® is a quick program introducing vulnerable youth to the non-technical, human side of money – a critical element of successful money management.
The three active lessons explore how hidden attitudes affect the ways people -especially those with few financial resources – actually behave around money. Topics include:
- Why money management is important in our lives.
- Different approaches to handling money –spontaneous, practical, carefree, security, generous, and more.
- The symbolism of money– as a sign of power, status, love, safety, independence, loyalty and more.
- The influence of family, media, culture, and life events.
- The advantages and challenges of different approaches to money.
- The interplay between money and relationships.
A key goal is helping young people identify their personal financial patterns – and why these matter. The award-winning Money Habitudes® card game, integrated into the lessons, makes the process fun and engaging.
Money Habitudes 2® is written specifically for at-risk or low resource youth in community programs, including pregnancy prevention, teen parenting, and workforce development. The scenarios are realistic, reflecting the students’ limited resources and lack of financial know-how.
Ideal for grant-funded programs, Money Habitudes 2® is practical, affordable, and easy to teach. Course materials include a teacher’s manual with 3 lessons, reusable card decks (one per student) and reproducible work sheets.
