Eureka - Personal Finance April 20
In our final class of the semester, I want to hear from all of you.
You are going to present on a topic that you learned this year in the Personal Finance class.
You can do a 5-minute solo presentation, or do a 10-minute presentation with a partner.
Here’s the deal, though - you can’t just stand up and talk about a topic. You need to do something creative - a skit, a video (that you make - not one you show from YouTube), a demonstration, you can bake something, write and sing a song, etc. Be creative!
I’m not assigning topics - you can choose anything you want. Even if you choose the same topic as someone else, what you got from it will be different from others.
Here’s a reminder of some of the things we talked about:
- Scriptures about money
- The history of money and taxes
- Rich Dad, Poor Dad
- The rich don’t work for money - the poor and the middle-class work for money. The rich have money work for them.
- Financial literacy - If you want to be rich, you need to be financially literate
- Accounting - balance sheet, income statement, cash-flow
- Assets and liabilities
- Habits of the wealthy
- Cashflow the Game
- Buying assets, doodads, getting out of the rat race, cashflow statements
- The Richest Man in Babylon
- A part of all I earn is mine to keep
- 7 cures for a lean purse
- The Money Game
- Paychecks, Income, expenses, taxes, savings, credit cards, debt, life events, keeping track of money, reconciling budget, assets and liabilities, the different between earned and passive income, and of course, PiddlyJunk

Eureka Personal Finance April 6
For this week's class we are going to continue playing "The Money Game" that we started last time we met.
For your homework this week, I have a series of videos I would like you to watch. It is a series that Pastor Andy Stanley of North Point Ministries did about money. I have listened to it several times and it is excellent.
Write down at least one quote from each of the three videos and come prepared to share a quote and your thoughts on it. We will do this for the first 20 minutes of class, then we will play The Money Game.
Here are the videos:

Acres of Diamonds by Russell H. Conwell
Acres of Diamonds is based on a lecture given by Russell H. Conwell. Conwell gave this same lecture over 6,000 times over a 60-year career. He used the proceeds from these lectures to help fund the education of 10,000 individuals at Temple University in Philadelphia.
This book is quick read - it is only about 60-pages long. Here are free links to the text and audio version:
