Did you get much education relating to personal finance when you were in school? Many of us learn life lesson when it comes to money through trial and error. What if you didn’t have to learn by stumbling through the process yourself?
This innovative program by Capital One Bank is teaching 7th graders basic life skills about handling money. Each child is given a specific like situation (married with kids, single with kids, single no kids, student, etc.) and must navigate through bills, taxes, food and clothing for their families.
Many of us could use these lessons as adults!
