The CFE recently held a #MadCityMoney event at the Duarte Teen Center in the City of Duarte. The teenagers who participated were part of DART (Duarte Area Resource Team) a program that helps young men and women explore public service careers. Some 30 teens were challenged to provide for the needs of a household while keeping a budget balanced. Our sincere thanks to our team of volunteers from the community and Rize Credit Union for playing the roles of salespeople in imaginary Mad City. It’s fun, and as these comments attest, impactful! Today I learned that real life stuff actually costs a lot more than I thought, especially with inflation. – Roman This was a real eye-opener about how to budget my money and how to buy my needs before my wants. – Jessy The best thing I learned today is that I can open my own Rize Credit Union account as a teen and it’s free. - Emma Research continues to show that students who gain access to financial education have less debt and a higher quality of life as adults than those who don’t. You can get involved and help bring these important lessons to high school students in Southern California and Southern Nevada. Use the link to learn how. https://lnkd.in/g5y36D-H
