simple budgeting for young adults with special needs

This resource teaches students about financial literacy, specifically focusing on distinguishing between needs and wants, and introduces the basics of budgeting. It begins with defining key terms, where 'Needs' are classified as essentials for survival and health, whereas 'Wants' are additional items that enhance life but are not necessary. The document includes various activities that encourage students to categorize items into these two groups, track personal income from various sources, and practice budgeting. Step-by-step examples guide students through managing a budget by subtracting their needs from their total income to determine what remains. The guided and independent practice sections allow students to engage actively with the content by calculating their own budgets based on provided scenarios.
