Planning Your Personal Finances Simulation

Overview/Description
 Do your finances have you down? Are you overwhelmed by the debt you've incurred or worried about whether or not you'll have enough money to afford a home and retire comfortably? If so, then you've chosen the right simulation. The Planning Your Personal Finances Simulation for the Single Participant will provide you with the opportunity to practice the real-world, everyday skills necessary for digging your way out of debt and securing a financially sound future. And although it won't solve your actual financial problems for you, it will give you the piece of mind that comes from knowing you have the knowledge and experience required to turn your financial standing around.
