“Mimic Personal Finance gives students regular opportunities to make individual decisions with consequences that affect them. I have seen the proverbial light bulb go on. They ‘feel’ how much it costs to get an apartment. They ‘see’ how a buying a car and taking on total ownership costs decreases their discretionary income. They ‘experience’ the importance of an emergency fund when they have to pay for an unanticipated car repair. After seven weeks, rather than simply memorizing definitions of scarcity and trade-off, my students know what those economic concepts feel like. Using Mimic Personal Finance, I’m confident that my students are no longer just learning finance; they are experiencing finance!”
