4 fictional family scenarios
These ‘case studies’ require students to use their personal finance knowledge and consider trade-offs and alternatives for that family. In the NPFC Finals, students will have 1 hour to do the assignment so you may wish to assign this for your students to complete during the week and return for group discussion. This tab also contains a sample student presentation and accompanying critique by a judge. If your team makes it to the National Finals, we recommend watching this in advance.
