CFA Society Ireland is proud to support creating positive improvements in the level of literacy across the country.
Money Matters is a financial literacy textbook written by Susan HayesCulleton. It is written as a menu of personal finance, investing and entrepreneurship life skills and is primarily aimed at Transition Year students, although the reach is far wider. The book is in use in the vast majority of secondary schools across Ireland.
The book is tailored for young people in the following ways:
- it is story-focused whereby students can learn about pensions through characters like Sarah who starts her first job and is wondering what “tax relief” means for her.
- It is full of relevant modernity including ESG, fintech, online brokers, differentiating between trading and investing as well as using technology for active learning.
- It gives a real taste of the diversity of careers available today and tomorrow in finance. Each chapter contains a case study of a CFA Institute charterholder and highlights how the the theory learned in subjects like accounting, business, maths and economics connect with the practicality of everyday life and life-changing decisions.
