Select grade levels are eligible to participate in “Mad City Money,” a live facilitated educational event sponsored by Cardinal. This 90-minute game challenges young people with the financial responsibilities of adulthood.
Mad City Money is similar to the game of Life. Students will take on the role of adults in futuristic Mad City and be given jobs, income, a family and, of course, debt.
The challenge? Students will visit merchants to purchase housing, transportation, food, clothing, day care, and other wants and needs, all while building a budget. The simulation is a fun, eye-opening competition that gives you an idea of what life is like on your own.
