Reality Town  On your packet, it will give you information about your possible life at 30.

Reality Town  Read your packet carefully!

Reality Town  Some of you have a spouse who stays home and doesn’t work.  This means you save on child care.

Reality Town  Some of you have a spouse who goes to school.  This means they may contribute more income in the future.

Reality Town  Some of you have a spouse who works.  This means you have a higher income.

Reality Town  Each student scenario will be unique because occupations, children, and spouses will differ.

Reality Town  Once you have your packet and have determined how much you have to spend…

Reality Town  You begin visiting the businesses and buying services and goods.
