Students learn not
only through 'normal' lessons but especially through daily
experience. One of them is how to keep track of the money saved,
spent, invested etc...Most students struggle in order to appreciate
the value of money, or to learn how to spend money wisely.
GnuCash is personal
and small-business financial-accounting software, freely licensed

This open source
program could be an invaluable tool, together with other measures, to
give students an impressive lesson on how to manage money.
Designed to be easy
to use, yet powerful and flexible, GnuCash allows you to track bank
accounts, stocks, income and expenses. As quick and intuitive to use
as a checkbook register, it is based on professional accounting
principles to ensure balanced books and accurate reports.
