Soar to Savings is designed for students in economics and personal finance classes. Students will learn the benefits of saving, tips for saving, and the impact of individual saving on the overall economy. Real-life scenarios, with help from FRED THE FRUGAL EAGLE® , the St. Louis Fed mascot, will help students better understand opportunity cost, interest, down payments, and financial investment. At the end of the course, a test checks students’ understanding of concepts learned.
