About this app

This app is for use with Junior Achievement Finance Park. It will guide students through a month in the life of their simulated adulthood where they will learn financial literacy. By being given a persona, profession, and salary, they will learn what their Net Monthly Income is, how to 'Pay Yourself First' by allocating savings and discover different financial needs and wants through virtual Exploration Stations. Afterwards, they will budget their NMI for their monthly expenses, even simulate applying for Mortgage and Car Loans, in order to virtually purchase their months wants and needs through a simulated shopping experience. All while reinforcing learning by playing educational games. Afterwards, students will see a recap of how their simulated month went and how they rate amongst other participants of the simulation.
