SACS Juniors and Seniors have had the opportunity to attend a Financial Fitness Fair, sponsored by area Credit Unions. Financial Fitness Fairs are an insightful and fun budget simulation, similar to the game of “Life.” Participating students are given a career and monthly income, and then have to visit booths associated with various expenses that the average adult is faced with each month. After filling in a monthly budget form, the goal is for students to have a monthly budget that does not exceed their monthly income. What a practical and FUN learning experience! 🤑💰
