This interactive presentation introduces a project-based approach to teaching Economics & Personal Finance concepts collective addressed as, “Adulting 101.” Students will use real-world data to explore essential life skills, including job searching, calculating taxes, budgeting, and determining the cost of living. Through hands-on activities, they will research job markets, compare salaries across industries, and calculate mandatory payroll deductions. They will create personalized budgets that account for rent, utilities, transportation, and other expenses, while analyzing how lifestyle choices impact financial stability. This approach equips students with practical tools to navigate adult life confidently and make informed financial decisions.
