05/25/07 - Mr. Maye Volunteers at Financial Health Day

Mr. Maye as a member of the FPANJ pro bono committee volunteered at Robbinsville High School Financial Health Day on Friday May, 25th 2007. The event was sponsored by the NJ Coalition for Financial Education and Robbinsville High School. The half day event was created to teach high school juniors about personal financial decisions they would face in the future. The event included a financial simulation where students were given a hypothetical salary along with a checkbook and credit card. The students then had to decide how to allocate their monthly income among rent, groceries, auto payments, entertainment, and savings. The simulation was followed by a Q&A session where lessons learned were discussed.
