Surviving In The Real World Simulation is the world’s first mobile financial literacy micro-city that can be brought into schools and organizations. It is a pop-up financial literacy simulation that mirrors real-life experiences in a creatively orchestrated format. Youths have enjoyed it so much they have asked to go through it again to change the outcome of their simulated lives.

Many students do not know what awaits them beyond high school. The simulation gives students a real-world perspective on how making decisions from career choices and beyond affects their livelihood. Today’s school curriculums are missing financial literacy, which is a crucial component of understanding and managing finances. The goal of the simulation is to prepare students for the world outside of the classroom so they become financially empowered.

Surviving In The Real World has 14 micro-enterprise stations that simulate real-world financial decisions. It is a micro-city where students learn through simulated activities how career, credit, and household size dictate their lifestyle. The simulation mirrors real-world experiences of hardships, tough choices, lifestyle, family, investment, and decisions that will affect the quality of their lives short- and long-term.
