Cards, Cars and Currency is a curriculum unit that challenges students to become involved in three specific areas of personal finance: credit cards, debit cards and purchasing a car.

With a focus on responsibility for personal financial decisions, students will be able to identify the bottom line of financial decision making: income kept or lost.
