Target Student Classes:

From the comprehensive analysis of the PDF, the various terms such as "high school students," "adolescence to early adulthood," and the examples provided that are suitable for teens who are getting ready for college, part-time jobs, or living on their own (such as saving for prom, college, paychecks, loans, etc.) indicate that the target classes for the provided material are high school students in grades 9-12, ages 14-18 years old. The material provided assumes that the reader knows basic math skills but has no prior financial knowledge, thus eliminating the possibility of using the material for middle school students or college-level classes.
