Our First Financial team and the Limitless Leaders had a blast with 50 students from Chesapeake High School for today’s Adulting 101 program! The new budgeting activity helps young adults navigate through one month of the life of a working adult.
At the beginning of the program, students receive a “Life Scenario” that includes a career, salary, their family situation and potentially any student loans. The students must then make smart and informed spending choices to stick within their budget as they visit various stations that represent major budget items like housing, transportation, childcare, groceries and more.
Supporting the youth in our community and providing financial education is at the heart of everything we do. We are thrilled to help the students practice their personal finance skills and prepare to navigate their financial futures’ responsibly!
First Financial’s Limitless Leaders are the credit union’s emerging professionals who participate in professional development activities, networking events, and volunteering opportunities.
