Personal Budgeting Game
- Students assume the role of a graduate with a full-time job living on their own.
- In this game, students review their estimated income and expenses and create a monthly budget and savings goal, and try to build an emergency fund.
- As they proceed through 12 virtual months (with each month taking about 20 minutes to complete), they learn to manage their checking, savings, and credit card accounts as they deal with life’s expected and UNEXPECTED events that constantly try to break their budget.
- A class ranking based on net worth, credit score, and quality of life keep the students fully engaged.
- Embedded personal finance lessons pop up to make sure the students are learning about budgeting, banking, credit, employment, taxes, insurance, and more.
Investing Simulation
- Students receive a virtual $25,000 in a brokerage account.
- They can research U.S. stocks, ETFs, bonds and mutual funds and build a portfolio.
- Trades execute a real-time bid/ask prices and students can monitor their performance versus their classmates.
- Embedded investing lessons help the students along the way.
Tutorials and Supplemental Lessons
- Students progressing through both the budgeting game and investing simulation will be prompted with interactive tutorials to help get started.
- Additional lessons on insurance, credit, career development, and dozens of other personal finance topics are prompted to the students over the duration of the course.
