FL10.2 Examine the influence that finances have on well-being Review a survey done to evaluate whether money can determine a person's happiness. Students can review a chart and see the results of happiness versus income levels. There is also a determination of a person's overall wellbeing and their "perceived happiness levels", based on what other think their happiness should be.

Students will review the potential effects on a person's investment value and overall mental impact of gambling versus investing. Using an investment scenario with a regular deposit to a lower risk investment, the students will compare potential returns to gambling activities, where the odds are close to 50/50 of making any money. 

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
