The program provides a "reality check day" through a program called "Mad City Money". Students are given a career, family life, and budget to spend. They then visit each booth and decide what they will spend their budget on for things like: car, house, food, utilities, childcare, etc. Building their lifestyle with the budget that they have - and then a stop by the Citizens Bank booth to help them keep some savings too!
