Budgeting

Students take a short survey at school asking about their career interests and work ethic, and are then assigned a "role." This "role" gives students an address to use, dependents, annual and monthly salary, and more. The students use this information to fill out their monthly budget sheet. Each monthly budget sheet includes daycare, groceries, student loans, and utilities. Then, they might spin the "Life Happen$" wheel and spend more to replace a tire or cover an unexpected medical bill.
