This project area is to help members to learn how their personal values, goals, and available resources affect their consumer behavior.  It will help them learn how social, economic, and political systems affect consumers and the effect consumers have on those systems.  They will also learn about management/economic principles for making consumer decisions and the rights and responsibilities of consumers and businesses including acting responsibly as a consumer.  

There are study guides for the Consumer Decision Making Skill-a-thon.

You can exhibit binders, posters, or display exhibits about setting personal goals, starting or investigating a business, finance or marketing, developing a business plan.
