BITE OF REALITY
Students learn useful tools that promote financial literacy and fiscal responsibility. The instructor will cover detailed information about adolescent brain development and the decision-making process while planning for the future. This 1.5 hour simulation gives high school students a sense of adulthood with income and bills to pay. Each participant is assigned a temporary identity, including occupation, salary, debt, marital status, and children, etc. They visit nine “merchants” in Mad City to choose housing and transportation, and purchase necessities and wants. The goal is to simulate the realities of approaching financial responsibilities.
