Last week, students learned about credit scores and balancing a checkbook. Today, they put those skills to the test! Students were given a career and family situation and had to create a budget that would allow them to pay all of their monthly bills.
It was a great opportunity for students to experience some of the financial decisions they’ll face in the real world—and maybe learn that budgeting isn’t always as easy as it looks!
Learning today to be Ready for Tomorrow!
