Personal Finance is working on a real-life simulation. In this simulation they need to find an apartment, pay their bills, buy food, pay taxes, and much more in order to survive. This simulation gets them used to the hectic everyday lifestyle and forces them to remember to do the basic functions of life. In order to “beat” the simulation, they need to earn $250,000 in net worth. They start out with $5,000 and don’t have food, a job, or housing. It is up to them to figure out how to make enough money and survive. You can win in a number of different ways and it allows them to work their way up in the workforce.
