Practice Activity: Managing Personal Spending
This activity is designed to help you practice managing your personal finances while completing everyday responsibilities.
Each day begins at home, where you will start your journey into the community to complete a variety of tasks on your daily to-do list. Along the way, you will perform common activities such as shopping, eating, paying bills, working, and other everyday errands. As you complete these tasks, you must carefully monitor your spending and make smart financial decisions.
At the end of each day, return home to rest. After a good night’s sleep, a new day begins, bringing another set of tasks and financial choices.
Good planning, thoughtful spending, and responsible financial decisions will help you succeed.
Your goals:
- Eat something every day
- Go to your job regularly to earn money
- Complete all of your daily tasks.
- Pay attention to the calendar
- Monitor the balances in your checking, savings and credit card accounts
- Most importantly, avoid running out of money
You will use the navigation grid to move around the community and complete tasks.
