2014 Student Loan Debt – The total outstanding student loan balance is $1.2 trillion. – Reasons for rising student debt:
• Rising cost of education• Students with little to no credit history are being approved for
thousands of dollars• Students don’t understand the terms of getting a loan• Students did not save or plan for the cost of college
– After graduation:• Loan debt exceeds annual salary• Many can’t find a job• Graduates are delaying buying a home or car• Unable to start a business• Unable to save for the future 6
. . . then why get a higher education?
– The demand for higher education in the job market is increasing.
– The potential to earn more increases as the level of education increases.
– The percent of unemployment decreases as educational attainment increases.
Higher education is still the best investment in your future.

Jordan can reduce his entertainment from $10 to $2 for 5 weeks.

Check for Understanding
• How would you describe a budget?• Why is having a budget important?• What may happen if you do not stick
to your budget?
53Ginger’s Budget
We’ve worked on Jordan’s budget together to make sure he has a balanced budget. Now it’s your turn to help Ginger.
54
Plan a weekly budget for yourself.
• You must have at least $30.00 weekly income. No more than $15.00 can be allowance. You must show jobs that you can do and would be willing to do every week.
• You must save at least $5.00 of your weekly income in a college savings plan.
• You must share/donate some of your income with others.
• You must spend some of your money. Your spending must be reasonable for someone your age.
• Your expenses may not exceed your income.
56Best Payment Option: Debit or Credit
Grade 6 Lesson 1
• Math 6.14B distinguish between debit cards and credit cards
57Sorting Activity
• Bridgette would like to buy her parents an alarm clock for their anniversary. How might Bridgette pay for the alarm clock?
59Venn Diagram
• Create a Venn diagram that represents the similarities and differences between a debit card and a credit card.
Debit Card
Credit Card
61Debit or Credit?
• Money is withdrawn directly from a checking or savings account.
• Each purchase is a loan that is repaid later.
• Consumers can purchase items now and pay for them later.
• Hefty fees may be charged if you spend more than what is in the account.
62Debit or Credit?
• Eric purchased a movie ticket with his card. This money will come straight out of his checking account. What card did he use?
• Rosa’s gas pump went out as she was driving her car to work. Since she did not have enough money to cover the cost to replace the pump, she used a card that allowed her to pay later. What card did she use?
64Checks and Balances
Grade 6 Lesson 2
• Math 6.14A compare the features and costs of a checking account and a debit card offered by different local financial institutions
• Math 6.14C balance a check register that includes deposits, withdrawals, and transfers
Identify the Bank Transaction
68
Money is automatically transferred into Debbie’s checking account for earnings from her job.
Identify the Bank Transaction
69
Debbie went shopping for some treats for her dog, Bruno, and a new leash at Pet City. When she checked out, she entered her personal identification number (PIN) at the register and paid with the debit card.
70
Identify the Bank Transaction
Debbie wanted cash to pay for the cost of a movie ticket and popcorn. She stopped at an ATM machine, entered a code and took cash out of the machine.
71
Identify the Bank Transaction
Debbie received two checks for her birthday. She went to her bank, filled out a slip and gave the check to the bank teller.
72
VocabularyTransaction: Any activity with money such as a deposit, a withdrawal, or a transfer.
ATM Surcharge: An Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) fee financial institutions charge for withdrawing money.
Insufficient Funds: This term describes the circumstance of not having enough money in a checking account to make a payment or to withdraw money.
Overdraft fee: This is a fee charged by the financial institution for making a purchase against your checking account in which there is not enough money in the account to cover the payment.
74
Overdraft protection example:• Debbie had $385 in her checking account when
the $400 rent check was processed.
$385 - $400 = -$15
• Bank charges Debbie an overdraft fee of $25.
-$15 - $25 = -$40
Why is this feature called overdraft protection?
76
Example of no overdraft protection:
• Debbie had $385 in her checking account when the $400 rent check was processed. • Check bounces; Debbie is charged a $30 bounced check
fee.
$385 - $30 = $355
• Landlords don’t receive payment; they charge Debbie a $40 late fee.
• Landlords ask Debbie to pay the return check fee of $25.
What was the cost of this transaction?
77
Example of no overdraft protection:
• $30 bounce check fee to bank• $40 late fee to landlords• $25 return check fee to landlord
$95 total in fees
Debbie still has to pay her rent.
80
Activity 6.2-1
SafeMoney Bank Terms: Monthly service fee of $15 is
applied if the account falls below $100
Monthly debit card fee of $1 An overdraft fee of $20 for each
overdraft. ATM cash withdrawals will be
denied if the account has insufficient funds.
ATM Surcharge for Local Financial Institutions: MY Credit Union: $3.00
Wise Bank: $2.00
83
My Credit Union Game RulesShuffle game cards and place them face down in one stack. Each player should have a check register to record his or her transactions. The person with the birthdate latest in the year goes first and the turn to play passes to the next player. Choose the top card in the stack. Document the transaction on your check register. For each transaction, write today’s date. For each check withdrawal write a 2-digit check number beginning with 01. Then calculate your balance. Place this card in the discard pile. The game ends after all the cards have been drawn or when a player has filled the check register. The person with the greatest balance is the winner.
84
SPECIAL RULES:• If you draw a card that is a check withdrawal and you do not
have enough money for the transaction, you must subtract the payment as well as an overdraft fee of $20. Use an additional line to record this overdraft fee if applicable.
• If you use your debit card to purchase a good or service or to withdraw money and you have insufficient funds, the credit union will decline the card. Put the card in in the discard pile. You lose your turn.
• If you withdraw cash using your debit card at a bank or credit union that is not My Credit Union, subtract an additional $2.00 for ATM surcharge. Use an additional line to record this surcharge if applicable.
85
CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING
• What happens when your checking account balance is low?
• Why is it so important to keep a record of your transactions and balance?
86ACTIVITY 6.2-3
• Compare the features and costs of a checking account and a debit card offered by different local financial institutions.
