Our office had the opportunity to bring the budget simulation “Your Money, Your Life” to Ozark City Schools last week.
On Friday, Extension and 4-H took over the DA Smith Middle School gym to build a simulation town with homes, utilities, a bank, car sales, grocery stores, childcare, and more.
As eight graders walk in the simulation, they are assigned a career, salary, and home considerations like a partner and children.
