On My Own
Contact: Starla Hardin
What is it like to live on your own? To be financially responsible for yourself or a family? Experience the reality of living on your own in our two hour “On My Own” simulation. Each participant receives an occupation and a family scenario. Then they deduct taxes and insurance from their gross income and pay bills for the month at the “On My Own” stations. This simulation teaches participants to save money, to spend wisely, to receive an education and to wait to have children!
Ages: 7th – 12th grade
