Welcome to the Real World–A Hands-On Virtual Financial Simulation

A well-established program, now available virtually, this simulation walks high-school students through a month as an adult, including decisions
such as housing, transportation, utilities,
entertainment, and more!

Students are assigned a career, asked to pretend
they are 25 years old and financially independent,
and provided tools for budgeting, as they navigate

through various stations representing choices that
make up a young adult’s lifestyle.
