VACAVILLE, Calif. – More than 30 teenagers and young adults came to Travis CU last week to learn about budgeting and financial planning as part of the credit union’s “Mad City Money” financial boot camp.
The group members were asked to build a budget based on their incomes and debt. From there, they moved around the room where vendors had tables set up selling goods and services such as groceries, cell phones and electronics, cars, home furnishings, child care, clothing and loans.
The object of the exercise was to visit all of the vendors and still spend within their budget, learning how to write checks and balance a checkbook.
