Finance Simulations

The FEFE simulations have been designed as an applied assessment tool for students at the end of a course. When participating in the simulation students:

• Experience the communication process while working with a partner to make decisions for their individual or family;

• Analyze the trade-offs for every decision they make when comprehensively applying several concepts together to create the individual or family spending plan;

• Explore the variables which may influence individual and family decisions based upon their values and goals;

• Learn the additional costs associated with everyday items.

“Life In…United States” is a family spending plan simulation emulating the constraints the typical American household encounters when managing their finances. Utilizing scenarios based on national data, participants apply course information to real life situations.

“Life of…” is an individual spending plan simulation completed by analyzing the life of a teenager and developing a spending plan. Intended for students in grades 7-9 and reinforces concepts taught in “Get Ready to Take Charge of Your Finances.”
