Real Money… A Financial Simulation for Young Adults is an interactive financial literacy program that helps teenagers and young adults understand how personal behaviors and decisions affect a person’s finances and quality of life.

Real Money™ uses scenarios about fictional people at three ages- 25, 30, and 35 years.  Working individually or in small groups, participants discuss and plan the use of money within the context of each of the five scenarios.  This program was developed by the New Jersey Coalition for Financial Education, with funding through a grant from the New Jersey Credit Union Foundation, and is available for use by financial educators worldwide.
