Is there a self paced budgeting course that is appropriate for a Bais Yaakov teenager online? Has anyone's teen taken such a thing? Was it helpful? Did you take it together with your teen? Looking for something very practical that they can implement right away.

so I did not but I teach business math to 11th graders and there is a program we implement 1x a week from an organization called Mesila. It isn't a full budgeting course but it's a good basis if you can get the book.

Yup - Mesila - they are an excellent Jewish financial education coaching program. But usually for couples. I don't see why they wouldn't do for teenagers though - reach out to them and if they don't currently do teens then suggest it - a fabulous idea! and maybe they may know who else would have a program for teens if they don't/can't accommodate that at present?

My teenage sister took that class in high school. She really enjoyed it.

They have started teaching the Mesilla Teens program to the girls here - very exciting development!

some people still don't hold of delving too deeply into finances because they say leave room for bitachon and Hashem to send the money - but then why do we learn maths if 1+1 is not meant to add up to 2 because we're leaving room for bitachion and miracles?

Dd is taking "accounting" in 11th grade. It is just a junior accounting/bookkeeping/check balancing course where they learn about finances and the world around them.
