Making it Count

Real World Financial Literacy

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension brought the Real-World Financial Literacy program to Giddings Middle School. This annual program helps students get a realistic perspective on what it will be like to work and pay bills. Students were each given an income and the task of budgeting for all the basic needs of life from groceries to insurance, to pets and parenting!
