Test-Drive TBB
First, students test-drive thinking before buying by calculating the DIMS-DOES IT MAKE SENSE?® SCORE for a purchase they’re interested in making.
Reflective Discussion
Then, they have a reflective conversation about how and why thinking before buying does more than just save money; it also helps us avoid disappointment, improve family harmony, and protect the planet.
Compelling Comparison
We close by comparing team sports and money smarts, which drives home WHY we should ask questions before making personal financial decisions, including what to buy!
My students need this! These questions are great. I was looking for something I could use in the classroom next week, and this is it!

We're so fortunate to have workshops on financial literacy from Ms. Karen Holland from Gifting Sense! Her presentations are highly interactive, lively and packed with teen-friendly wisdom on managing your money. Ms. Holland's take on young people and their finances is relatable to them, equitable and specific, enabling students to take action in the moments after her presentation. She's an engaging and dynamic speaker who can captivate an audience big or small. The Brearley School highly recommends Gifting Sense!

Gifting Sense has a most interesting approach to helping young people learn how to avoid FOMO (fear of missing out), reduce waste (of time and money), and protect the planet, all through more thoughtful consumer decision making.
