Funny Money for High Schools is an engaging presentation designed to both educate and entertain students in grades 11 and 12. The program is intended to help students learn the basics of personal finances before they enter into the world of higher education, careers and independence.
A very large number of today's students find themselves unprepared for the day to day realities of paying the rent, properly using a credit card, and budgeting for the basic necessities. James Cunningham, a professional comic and public speaker, is the author of the award winning Funny Money program. James' highly entertaining show takes students through the basics:
- balancing a cheque book,
- reconciling a debit card statement,
- credit card fundamentals,
- how to not spend more than you earn,
- establishing a rapport with lenders,
- plus, the biggest secret to financial freedom forever!
Using razor sharp wit and a brilliant multimedia presentation, Funny Money for High Schools is teaching students across North America the essential skills required to successfully manage our financial lives. The show dives deep into the matters that we so seldom think about while earning, spending and saving money. Points are laid out in a simple and easy to follow guide to achieving financial stability and then moving on to the next level of achieving great wealth and prosperity.
