Description

The annual Reality Fair will be on November 6th and 7th at the PAC. We are needing 10-15 volunteers per session. We plan on holding one AM and one PM session both days. Please see times below. Event Description: TXTCU Financial Reality Fair is a 60‐90 minute experiential learning activity where participants get a feel for real‐life monthly budget. This eye opening experience will give participants a view into what costs they can anticipate and how to budget for the future. The participants will be assigned a career and starting salary and are required to complete a budget sheet where they must live within their budget while paying for basics such as housing, utilities, transportation, clothing, and food, entertainment and travel. There are temptations for additional spending, and participants must learn to balance their wants and needs. After the participants have visited all of the booths, they are required to balance their budget with a financial counselor who will assist them in their review.
