Deering High School Financial Literacy Fair

Posted by Thomas Nickerson

On October 19th from 8:30-11:30 a.m. in their gym, Deering High School will host the Life's Dollars and Sense financial literacy fair for the senior class. This fair simulates creating a balanced monthly budget in the life of a typical 22-year old in Maine. The goal of the fair is to help students develop a basic understanding of sensible financial planning and an awareness of how each income and expenditure component impacts the budget's balance.

They are looking for volunteers to be at a booth and help students identify potential areas of overspending, as well as encourage students to make more affordable choices.
