I was at Kaukauna High School today working at the Uncle Sam Booth for the "Reality Store Event" that over 300 students attended. The students had to plan for their future by picking a career, if they would be married or single, and if they would have children. Then they stopped by the Uncle Sam Booth and we started by deducting the taxes out of their monthly pay they received from their jobs. Such a nice Uncle he is! After paying rent, buying groceries, car payment, car insurance, clothing, health insurance, putting aside for retirement... well, you get the picture... they had a MAJOR "Reality Check"! Teaching high school students to be financially literate can have a huge pay off when they become adults. Thank you to everyone who made this event a success. Our local Channel Two news crew even stopped by to capture the story you can read it at the link below.
