WYOMING, Mich. (WOOD) — Some Grand Rapids students are getting a taste of the real world while still in the classroom.
Before a lot of them get their first jobs, they are learning important skills on how to manage their money. Cheryl Small has been teaching the Dave Ramsey Foundations in Personal Finance program at Wyoming High School for 10 years.
“It’s probably the most beneficial class I’ve ever taken,” said Wyoming High School senior Shaun Dewent.
Dewent said the class has him thinking about money in ways he never had before.
“No one really helped me out with that. This class has really helped me out on how to save my money, how to invest it and how to save for things instead of just impulse buying things I want,” said Dewent.
