RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (KESQ) – Today at Rancho Mirage High School, students are getting a head start on their financial futures.
Through an event called “Bite of Reality,” students are learning to navigate the real-world challenges of managing a budget, paying bills, and making smart financial decisions. The immersive simulation puts them in adult-like scenarios where they will learn about balancing expenses. As part of the experience, they’re faced with everyday financial choices.
According to the Pew Research Center, only about half (54%) of U.S. adults say they know a great deal or a fair amount about personal finances. This event aims to support students financially ahead of their graduation.
The event is a collaborative effort between OneFuture Coachella Valley, Sun Community Credit Union, and the Palm Springs Unified School District.
