This instructional guide was created to help provide lesson plans for the Storehouse Ready: Preparing for Life’s Events Student Edition. Teaching our youth money-management principles at an early age will provide them the life skills that will be needed as they become adults and live independently from their parent(s) or guardian(s).

Storehouse Ready: Preparing for Life’s Events Student Edition addresses financial literacy in the area of budgeting and savings. The Budgeting and Savings Planner provides a beginner’s guide to money management for students at the junior high, high school, or college level. The student will gain life skills in two important areas - budgeting and saving. The Planner provides a complete overview of essential household expenses if they one day live on their own and step-by-step instructions on creating their first budget.

The Planner also provides strategies on how to build savings through budgeting. After graduating from school, the Planner will be an immediate tool to help the student navigate through their finances and, most importantly, provides lifetime money management principles.
