This competency-based preservice home economics teacher education module on money management is the second in a set of three modules on management in economically depressed areas. (This set is part of a larger set of sixty-seven modules on the Management Approach to Teaching Consumer and Homemaking Education [MATCHE]--see CE 019 901-967.) Following the module objective and overview, three units of instruction are presented: (1) the financial plan (with lessons on identifying financial resources, collecting information on financial plans, and developing, evaluating, and controlling the financial plan), (2) identification of alternatives (with lessons on decision-making, food, clothing, housing, equipment, and transportation), and (3) financial crises (with lessons on credit, counseling, investigating alternatives, and evaluating debt). Each unit includes the following elements: objectives, overview, and a progress test. Lessons contain narrative summaries, suggested activities, resources, and a progress check. A module pre/posttest (with answer key) concludes the document. (Workshop proceedings relating to the development of these modules are available in the ERIC system as CE 019 896-899; also available is a module on utilizing FHA-HERO as an instructional strategy to expand and strengthen the home economics instructional programs [CE 019 900].)
