– Total student loan debt:• 2010 – 850 billion dollars• 2012 – over 1 trillion dollars
9
2013 Student Loan Debt as Reported by Forbes– The total outstanding student loan balance is $1.2 trillion. – Reasons for rising student debt:
• Rising cost of education• Students with little to no credit history are being approved for
thousands of dollars• Students don’t understand the terms of getting a loan• Students did not save or plan for the cost of college
– After graduation:• Loan debt exceeds annual salary• Many can’t find a job• Graduates are delaying buying a home or car• Unable to start a business• Unable to save for the future
10
. . . then why get a higher education?
– The demand for higher education in the job market is increasing.
– The potential to earn more increases as the level of education increases.
– The percent of unemployment decreases as educational attainment increases.
Higher education is still the best investment in your future.

Identify the Bank Transaction
Debbie paid her rent by writing a $400 check to her landlord.
Identify the Bank Transaction

Money is automatically transferred into Debbie’s checking account for earnings from her job.
Identify the Bank Transaction
79
Debbie went shopping for some treats for her dog, Bruno, and a new leash at Pet City. When she checked out, she entered her personal identification number (PIN) at the register and paid with the debit card.
80
Identify the Bank Transaction
Debbie wanted cash to pay for the cost of a movie ticket and popcorn. She stopped at an ATM machine, entered a code and took cash out of the machine.
81
Identify the Bank Transaction
Debbie received two checks for her birthday. She went to her bank, filled out a slip and gave the check to the bank teller.
82
VocabularyTransaction: Any activity with money such as a deposit, a withdrawal, or a transfer.
ATM Surcharge: An Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) fee financial institutions charge for withdrawing money.
Insufficient Funds: This term describes the circumstance of not having enough money in a checking account to make a payment or to withdraw money.
Overdraft fee: This is a fee charged by the financial institution for making a purchase against your checking account in which there is not enough money in the account to cover the payment.
83
84
Overdraft protection example:• Debbie had $395 in her checking account when
the $400 rent check was processed. $395 - $400 = -$5
• Bank charges Debbie an overdraft fee of $25.
-$5 - $25 = -$30
Why is this feature called overdraft protection?
85
86
Example of no overdraft protection:
• Debbie had $395 in her checking account when the $400 rent check was processed. • Check bounces; Debbie is charged a $30 bounced check fee.
$395 - $30 = $365
• Landlords don’t receive the check; they charge Debbie a $40 late fee.
• Landlords ask Debbie to pay the return check fee of $25.
What was the cost of this transaction?

What is the best option?

My Credit Union Game RulesShuffle game cards and place them face down in one stack. Each player should have a check register to record his or her transactions. The person with the birthdate latest in the year goes first and the turn to play passes to the next player. Choose the top card in the stack. Document the transaction on your check register. For each transaction, write today’s date. For each check withdrawal write a 2-digit check number beginning with 01. Then calculate your balance. Place this card in the discard pile. The game ends after all the cards have been drawn or when a player has filled the check register. The person with the greatest balance is the winner.
92
SPECIAL RULES:• If you draw a card that is a check withdrawal and you do not
have enough money for the transaction, you must subtract the payment as well as an overdraft fee of $20. Use an additional line to record this overdraft fee if applicable.
• If you use your debit card to purchase a good or service or to withdraw money and you have insufficient funds, the credit union will decline the card. Put the card in in the discard pile. You lose your turn.
• If you withdraw cash using your debit card at a bank or credit union that is not My Credit Union, subtract an additional $2.00 for ATM surcharge. Use an additional line to record this surcharge if applicable.
