High school students (ages 15-18) should participate. This is an interactive workshop called Mad City Money.
Each student will receive an "about me" sheet that contains an occupation and salary, student loan debt owed, credit card debt owed and cost of medical insurance. Some participants will have a spouse, and some will be single; all will be parents.
Students build a monthly budget based on their income. They select housing, transportation, food, day care and other needs. Just as in real life, students have unexpected windfalls and unplanned expenses.
