On My Own
On My Own is a fun and engaging financial education simulation for junior and senior high youth. Students imagine that they are adults with the responsibility of being the major income provider for a household that may include a spouse and/or children. Using a hypothetical occupation and income, and family scenario participants work through a month of household purchases including housing, utilities, transportation, insurance, food, childcare, clothing, entertainment, and unexpected expenses. The curriculum is aligned with NEFE Standards for personal financial education, Jump$tart Coalition Standards and Tennessee State Board of Education Standards.
