During our Investment Unit in Consumer Education, students completed a risk assessment to determine their personal investment risk tolerance. They discovered whether they tend to be more aggressive or conservative when it comes to investing money.
To bring these concepts to life, students then participated in The Investment Risk Game, where they made strategic choices based on their risk profiles. Throughout the simulation, they experienced firsthand how aggressive decisions can lead to higher potential rewards, but also greater losses, while conservative strategies offered more stability with slower growth.

Consumer Education students teamed up to explore the differences between No Coverage, Overdraft Coverage, and Overdraft Protection on a checking account. Through real-life scenarios and discussion, they learned how each option can impact fees, declined transactions, and overall financial responsibility.
Do you know which option is set up on your checking account?
