Juniors Learn Money Management at Financial Reality Fair
What expenses surprised our juniors the most at the WHS Financial Reality Fair? "Haircuts! Food! Pet care! I barely had enough money to pay for everything! I’m broke!" These were some insights shared by students who participated in the Fair sponsored by Trumark Financial Credit Union. Every junior was assigned a job and a salary, then worked with the support of 40 volunteers to develop a monthly budget covering necessary expenses such as housing, utilities, transportation, clothing, and food - and other costs like entertainment.
