    Hi

    I am looking for a personal finance course for high school, that would be close to 1/2 semester worth of time.  We have tried the Dave Ramsey course, but my daughter was not thrilled with it and we ended up stopping mid way through.  So I need another recommendation……any ideas?

    Also, since my daughter will be heading off to college in the fall, I am also looking for a simple book that could explain the basics of personal finance, but that would not take a semester’s worth of time.  It would be great if it was geared towards college age students!!

    Thanks for any insight or recommendation!

    We used My Father’s World Personal Finance package and thought it was good…

    It is a one semester course, which I paired with Notgrass Economics and some other misc. resources, like the Uncle Eric books.

    Another good choice that could easily be done in a semester is the one by Life of Fred.  My son is doing it now.  You could add in a couple of Uncle Erics to make a half-credit Personal finance course; this is how we did it.  We also added in just a few videos on the internet.  It’s working beautifully for our purposes.
