Instructors Mrs. Swick/Mrs. Phillips—June 1-18
Have your parents or guardians ever told you “Money doesn’t grow on trees?” Real Money Real World will show you how quickly living expenses can add up and exactly what they mean when they tell you this! Real Money. Real World. (RMRW) is a youth-focused financial literacy program from Ohio State University Extension. This program is fun and distinctive because it includes an interactive spending simulation that provides the opportunity to make lifestyle and budget choices similar to those made by 27-year-old adults. In this program, we will explore how career choice and income level correlate, how much money is taken out of your paycheck, banking, expenses incurred to maintain a household (including what it costs to care for a child), and savings goals.
