If you’re a teacher or community leader and would like to host a free Bite of Reality Workshop, please complete the form below.** ![Bite-Of-Reality-Students](https://www.azcreditunions.com/hubfs/Bite-Of-Reality-Students.jpg) ### Bite of Reality is fun, safe, and interactive Bite of Reality is a two-and-a-half-hour, hands-on simulation that appeals to teens, while giving them a taste of real-world financial realities. Teens are given a fictional occupation, salary, spouse and family, student loan debt, credit card debt, and medical insurance payments. The teens then walk around to various table-top stations to "purchase" housing, transportation, food, clothing, household necessities, day care, and other needs. Fortunately, the game also includes a credit union to help with their financial needs. This interactive activity teaches teens how to make financial decisions and gives them a better understanding of the challenges of living on a budget. Teens will have to deal with a pushy "car salesperson" and a commission ­based "realtor," and weigh their wants versus their needs. There's even a  "Fickle Finger of Fate" that will give some of the students unexpected  "expenses" or "windfalls"-just like in real life.
