CU 4 Reality credit fair

On Tuesday, we participated in the area CU 4 Reality credit union fair held for several students in local middle and high schools.

We were thrilled to help out in this event and love the philosophy behind this event.

This event was sponsored by several local credit unions, to help kids start to learn the power of a budget and keeping within a budget. What a valuable lesson.

Students have been learning about careers, earning a paycheck and then how to budget within their earnings to accomplish all the items they want and needs. The students need to select housing, food, cars, insurance, and clothing (we provided booth) before they can then spend some of their extra money on gym membership, owning a pet or going on vacation.

This is a great lesson our students need to learn so they are better able to manage their finances and learn to prioritize within their means.

Thank you to all other credit unions/ insurance agencies who supported this event and all the other businesses who volunteered their time and resources. I love to be involved in events like this within our community.
