             Your Money, Your Life helps young people understand the financial responsibilities they will face as they  
             earn a living in the real world. Participants in this engaging and fun simulation will be given a salary, pay taxes,  
             and begin to see how far their money can go as they choose housing, transportation, groceries, and more. 
             Your Money, Your Life presents the complexities of adult financial responsibility in a way that makes these  
             decisions approachable as it encourages participants to think critically about how each decision might affect them. 
             Through this program, teens get an early dose of their financial reality check before they make life and career  
             decisions. Contact us today if you are interested in helping young adults in your area with the following:
                         •   Understand the financial decisions of everyday life
