 Welcome teachers! The purpose of this iadventure is to help students learn the importance of creating a budget. They will have the oppurtunity to create a budget based on the wants of a typical teenager. This iadventure requires students to make a decision whether the main character, Julia should buy a car or an apartment. They must research on both options. Then , they  decide what Julia should do with her money in the mean time. They must research on checking and savings accounts before they make their decision. After the students have chosen an item to purchase and where the money should be kept, they are going to create a final project. A link to the final project guidelines are below.
