The Pay Check : Because real money isn't a game
The Pay Check is an interactive financial education simulation for middle and high school students, because real money isn't a game.
Students are assigned a personal profile with an occupation, education level, income, marital status, if they have good credit or bad credit. With their profile in hand, students visit various stations to discover challenges they may face if they have made poor financial decisions early on in life.
After participating, many students say they have a better appreciation of what their parents may face in meeting monthly expenses.
