Today our Jackson CEO students had the opportunity to visit SIU Credit Union, where they were hosted by Melissa Kinnard, Community Outreach Specialist. She guided the class through an interactive life-simulation game called Cashy—and it was an eye-opener!
Each student began the game with:
💵 $2,000
😊 80% happiness
From there, they had to make real-life decisions by choosing a career, selecting expenses, and making investments. Every choice had an impact on their financial standing and their happiness.
The challenge?
➡️ Build the best life possible while balancing money and joy.
Students quickly discovered what every adult knows:
Life is all about wise decisions, smart budgeting, and keeping what matters most in view.
A huge thank you to Melissa and the SIU Credit Union team for pouring into our young entrepreneurs and teaching them lessons that will last long beyond the classroom! 🙌
