Students Participate in Reality of Money Experience at PTC
On Wednesday, November 6, NSHS students visited PTC for the Reality of Money experience. They were each given a "career" and the monthly wage for that career, as well as their credit score, # of children, and marital status. With this information, they visited different stations and decided how much to spend on housing, groceries, health insurance, communication, child care, transportation, entertainment, clothing, and surprise costs or windfalls. They had to learn how to budget the money or get an extra job.
