[Natfinwellness] Interactive Budget Workshops

[Jodi Kaus]

We have had the students divide into groups and then we give each group slips of paper representing monthly expenses totaling $900 (rent $400, food $150, gas $75, latte $80, etc.) and a total budget income of $700. The group must decide what are their needs and what are the wants they have money left for, then share why they made the decisions they did with the class.

Good Afternoon All,

I am working on creating an interactive workshop revolving around budgeting for my students. Does anyone have some thoughts on different things that have been successful at your School?

Thank you!
Jordee
