We created our own budget using some stock data. The lesson is in understanding what it takes to create a budget and how to manage it when the budget doesn't balance.

2) Debt and Credit
We discussed debt, some of the pitfalls and some wise ways to use it, including credit cards. That's right, I said it, there are good ways to use credit cards!
