How ‘Get a Life’ simulation teaches Harrison County students personal finance

West Virginia State Treasurer’s Office introduces “Get a Life” personal finance simulation to Harrison County Schools

For the first time ever, the West Virginia State Treasurer’s Office brought their “Get a Life” personal finance simulation to Harrison County Schools. This program aims to give students a taste of adult life and the financial responsibilities that come with it. By assigning students various life situations, such as a job with a specific salary, a spouse, and a child, they are challenged to manage their finances and make decisions about rent, insurance, utilities, groceries, and more.
