11:00 a.m. - 01:00 p.m.
Think you can afford the apartment and the daily latte? Let’s find out.
In this fast-paced, interactive version of The Game of Life, you’ll be assigned a career (accountant, athletic trainer, dentist, teacher, PR professional, chemist, biochemist and more) along with a real starting salary. From there, you’ll move through different “life stations” where you’ll make choices about housing, transportation, clothes, entertainment, savings—and yes, those little “treat yourself” moments.
Will you splurge on the luxury apartment? Go practical with your car? Stick to a budget…or test your luck?
This hands-on experience is designed to help you:
Understand how far a paycheck actually goes
Practice real-world budgeting and comparison shopping
Make financial decisions based on your priorities
Envision your future lifestyle
It’s eye-opening, a little competitive and a lot of fun. Come see what your future could look like—and whether your salary can keep up with your spending habits!
