Interactive simulators that teach paychecks, budgeting, and credit through real decisions — not worksheets. Zero teacher prep. Just share the link.
Each module is a 15–20 minute scenario-based simulation. Students make real decisions and see the financial consequences play out — immediately.
Students input a starting salary, navigate taxes, choose health insurance plans, and set up their 401(k) — then see exactly where every dollar went before it hits their account.
Students build a real monthly budget from their simulated paycheck — rent, groceries, transportation, subscriptions — and see whether they can make ends meet.
An animated credit score meter, interactive factor sliders, a card simulator with 6-month tracking, and a decision consequence engine that shows what each choice costs — for years.
Ohio's updated high school graduation requirements include financial literacy competencies. LifeBus modules directly address earning, saving, spending, credit, and risk management — the five core domains.
Paycheck module maps to Jump$tart's "Employment and Income" strand. Budget module covers "Spending and Saving." Credit module addresses "Credit and Debt" — including the consequences of poor decisions.
Council for Economic Education standards addressed: income, saving, financial investing, credit, and risk. Suitable for Personal Finance, Economics, and Life Skills course integration.
Ohio requires students to demonstrate financial literacy competencies before graduation. LifeBus Learning provides free, ready-to-deploy digital tools that cover earning, budgeting, credit, and financial decision-making — no curriculum writing required. Just share the link and your students are learning within minutes.
