Why?" with the NGPF presentation. Students will explore the advice from a family member or trusted adult (teacher, principal, etc). using the "Money Interview".

This resource provides a listening guide, student assignment and reflection on the topic of "Delayed Gratification", 24 hour rule and self control. In this short talk from TED U, Joachim de Posada shares a landmark experiment on delayed gratification -- and how it can predict future success with this priceless video of kids trying their hardest not to eat the marshmallow. Mischel theorized that children who eat the marshmallow within the time period would not be as successful as children who waited for 15 minutes for another piece of marshmallow. Delayed gratification = the process that a person will gain a reward after resisting temptation.

Indigenous communities have traditionally shown skill and strength in managing resources to support their community on an ongoing basis. People have understood and practiced the concepts of budgeting and saving, managing resources by budgeting so that they last the year, and putting aside savings for future use. In today’s economy, managing money can feel stressful at times. A helpful step is to identify goals for you and your family. This booklet provides a set of  activities to help you do that. The worksheets can help you plan your money goals, track your spending, make a budget, and get ready for tax time. The land is our teacher. It teaches us about saving, sustainability and security. At creation animals, birds and fish were asked what they could teach humans. The animal world said humans can learn from our values, character and behaviour. In this booklet the animals will teach you about managing your money. Simon BrascoupéAnishinabeg/Haudenausanee Bear ClanMember of Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First NationVice-President Education and Training, AFOA Canada

Whether it’s buying that $5 coffee, a new piece of clothing that we don’t really need, or just trying to make ends meet, saving money is oftentimes easier said than done. We are often influenced by a variety of factors that make it difficult to save money. Many cartoonists have observed these challenges and wittily depict them in their cartoons. In this activity, you will pick one of the cartoons provided below and analyze how it portrays the challenges we encounter when it comes to saving money.

Your brain is biased. Over millions of years of evolution, it’s been programmed to prioritize the present over the future, so when we try to save money, it feels like we’re depriving ourselves of joy. Why save for 10 years from now when there’s so much to do right now? Neuroscientist Alex Korb explains how our brain circuits focused on thinking, habits, and rewards interact to impact our financial decisions. But even though we favor short-term indulgences over our long-term best interests, research suggests it’s possible to undo this harmful pattern with one simple thing: a vivid imagination. Learn more about how you can rewire your brain and change your behavior to live the life you’ve always wanted. This is Your Brain on Money.
