It's time for your family to take the Y-Fi Challenge! Y-Fi is a one-hour, interactive financial simulation designed for teens (ages 11-18) and their parents.  The hour-long activity is designed to help families communicate and share values around money.  During the event your teen will…

- Get a career and stretch their paycheck to cover monthly expenses.

- Make money choices about housing, utilities, transportation, food, clothing and much, much more! Can they make ends meet on a tight budget?

- Watch out for their “Lucky or Unlucky Chance” card to see if they can stay on track, even when the unexpected happens!
