For the extended advisory students will be watching a portion of the ESPN film Broke which shows the lives and spending habits of certain athletes. These athletes talk about the downfalls of financial decisions they made and what happens to their money when they stopped playing.
Before watching the movie ask the students to come up with a number they felt if they make per year there would be no way they would go broke. Once you get this number from the students write it on the board and they will see how their number compares to some of the amounts these athletes made.
Once you have stopped the video discuss with the class what poor decisions these people made with their money. Do some of these same decisions apply to people who go broke that don't make millions?
Make sure to start the video from the beginning. I am probably going to show 45 minutes to an hour depending on how interested my kids are in it and then give them the rest of the hour to work on assignments or homework they have. This is up to you. You can always do grade checks if you have time.
