Bringing the Personal Finance Ecosystem to Life in the Classroom

Abstract

The Personal Finance Ecosystem (PFE; www.nefe.org/ecosystem) is a visual roadmap that lays out the underpinnings of an individual’s level of financial well-being. It serves to clarify our reach and roles as educators, researchers, and policy-makers. The PFE can also be used to teach students how to articulate and contextualize the elements that comprise and influence their own financial wellness. In this session, we will demonstrate ways to incorporate PFE-based activities into your practice.
