‘Living Within Your Means’, ‘Nothing is certain but death and taxes’ and ‘A fool and his money are easily parted’ were just a few adages shared at the Prescott County online 4-H Finance and Taxes Club this Fall. The club was open to all 4-H members across Ontario, and twelve teenagers and young adults successfully completed the club. Credit card interest compounded DAILY from the purchase date for missed payments, ‘needs vs wants’ and minimizing personal income tax were but a few topics taught. Members also reviewed the various styles and contents of a solid resumé and examined the requirements of job posters to help build a tailored covering letter to apply for positions. Members submitted a Budget for their post-secondary education as their Achievement Project. Leaders Katia Harnisch and Ida Everest (CPA) would like to thank all members for their participation.
