All about the Truist Life, Money, and Choices Financial Simulation Course Experience: A comprehensive financial education program offered in high schools, colleges, and community organizations. This program was created to empower younger generations with essential skills to help navigate their financial futures.

During the evening, participants will have the opportunity to explore different financial strategies and understand the consequences of their choices. Facilitated by Truist teammates, the simulation features up to 12 learning stations, each representing a different set of expenses and choices.

Each participant is assigned a personal financial profile outlining his or her occupation, income and family composition, along with a transaction ledger to record financial transactions. With their profiles and ledgers in hand, participants make their way through each station, receiving guidance and support from Truist teammates, and making their own decisions. The stations cover common expense categories, including, but not limited to:

• Banking – maintaining and adding to savings
• Food and Grocery – food costs and eating out
• Housing – renting vs. owning, insurance and maintenance
• Just for Fun – pets, fitness, hobbies and more
• Looking Good – hair, clothing, footwear
• Transportation – various options for transportation including cars and public transit
• Utilities – electric/gas, water/sewer, trash

All about the Golf Pride Global Innovation Hub Experience – Thanks to Golf Pride staff, participants will have the opportunity to:
