A grandparent, aunt, uncle or
other family member.You've probably noticed that many
older relatives enjoy showing their affection by instructing
you on subjects they've found useful, so asking them to
teach you about finance may make both teacher and student
happy.
As you think
about your family, you may discover that, as in other
situations, your relatives have different strengths. One
relative might own a business, another might know about
rental properties. Which area interests you - or would you
like to know a little about everything?
A family friend. With
your parents' permission, you might enlist the help of a
trusted adult to teach you what they know about money.
Consider someone who runs a business or is a financial
planner - or maybe just an adult you admire.
The instructor of a school or
community education program in finance. Take
advantage of your school's offering on the subject, or look
into taking a summer or evening class at another venue. The
latter classes probably won't be designed specifically for
young people, but you may want to investigate them anyway.
A peer who has taken the time
to become informed about money. A
local chapter of Future
Business Leaders of America- Phi Beta Lambda, Inc. is
one place to look for other students who share your interest
in business.
