PURPOSE: In the words of a student, “The Reality Store is where you calculate what you will earn with a certain education and see how you end up financially. This provides a fun and enjoyable way to learn about the financial world. “
Students will apply the decision-making, problem-solving, and management processes to develop a spending plan to meet established goals with a degree of accuracy. The goal is to develop the knowledge and skills needed to use these processes in practical, real-life situations involving the use of money. The Reality Store is a place where students pay bills after planning their budget for a level of income based on a predetermined level of education.
College and career readiness programs can provide successful transitions between high school and college or work by helping students gain the skills, knowledge, and expertise needed for their postsecondary success.
