Honda Federal Credit Union brought the “Game of Life” activity and a “Car Buying Experience” to Bellefontaine High School students this week.
The Game of Life is a program that helps students analyze spending, create budgets, and compare potential monthly payments with their chosen career’s earnings.
Community volunteers from related professions guide students through real-life financial decisions, such as purchasing a car, housing, childcare, and everyday expenses.
The simulation began with students “aged” up to 27, where they chose occupations, determined salaries, and made decisions about marriage and family, providing a stark glimpse into real-world financial pressures.
Students also participated in a “Car Buying Experience” where they learned more about that process and how to navigate it. Students who are enrolled in a course that fulfills their financial literacy requirement were all invited to attend.
This helpful tool aids students in navigating their 3E path.
