MYLIFE
is a web-based life planning program for young people,
designed to demonstrate how lifestyle choices can affect
career choice. Through
this program, students will develop a simulation of their
fantasy future by selecting a home to purchase or an apartment
to rent. Next, they will calculate all their monthly bills
including rent or house payments, car payments, car maintenance,
gasoline, insurance, utilities, groceries, clothes, and
finally entertainment. After all the monthly bills are
totaled, students will determine the wages needed to support
their choices. Completion of this comprehensive budget
activity will motivate students to explore careers and
determine which occupations will support their lifestyle.
