Reality Store Teaches Budgeting

Wisco seniors learned important lessons about finances at the Reality Store on March 12. After receiving an assigned life situation (marital status, children, debt, etc.), along with a "paycheck" based on the job they were assigned and hope to have as an adult, students stopped at various stations to create a budget. Along the way, students "run into" real life expenses such as car repairs, medical bills, vet expenses or child care. Thank you to all our volunteers who helped to make this event valuable for our students!
