Technical and career education classes gathered in the schola for a financial planning game held by the Beach Municipal Federal Credit Union.

Each person was the same age, but with various backgrounds. Students received papers with different occupations, numbers of kids, marital statuses, and incomes. 

The goal was to spend money efficiently and get a feel for “real-life” budgeting.

“It was one of the most stressful things that I have done in Mr. Cartwright’s class,” said senior Allyson Moslares. “However, I am super grateful to have experienced being 27, living paycheck to paycheck, and providing for two children.”
