Whether budgeting is new, or you've been paying bills for years, it pays to have a path mapped out to help achieve your goals. Experience the basics of budgeting, smart financial decision-making and what it's really like to manage family finances. Reality Check is an interactive and engaging way to learn about building and balancing a budget. The goal is to make the assigned decisions during the allotted time and complete the simulation with a budget surplus. Just like real life, there will be some challenges along the way.
