SUMMARY:Bite of Reality - Financial Literacy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Bite of Reality is a two-and-a-half-hour\, hands-on simulation that appeals to teens while giving them a taste of real-world financial realities. Teens are given a fictional occupation\, salary\, spouse and family\, student loan debt\, credit card debt\, and medical insurance payments. The teens then walk around to various table-top stations to "purchase" housing\, transportation\, food\, clothing\, household necessities\, day care\, and other needs. Fortunately\, the game also includes a "credit union" to help with their financial needs.\n\n\n\nThis interactive activity will teach teens how to make financial decisions and give them a better understanding of the challenges of living on a budget. Teens will have to deal with a pushy "car salesperson" and a commission-based "realtor\," and weigh their wants versus their needs. There's even a "Fickle Finger of Fate" that will give some of the students unexpected "expenses" or "windfalls" just like in real life.\n\n\n\nPresented by: Desert Valleys FCU\n\nSponsored by: RMJ Foundation & Desert Valleys Employee Foundation
