Buying Goods and Services Standards and Resources

To buy or not to buy, that is the question. According to the Council for Economic Education, High School students should attend to making spending decisions. Because goods and services are scarce, people cannot buy all of the goods and services they want, they must make choices. Student should understand different payment methods, charitable donations, and the role of government and other institutions to provide consumer information. Check out the Standards for Buying and Resources for Buying for more websites and ideas.
