Reality Check

Having a good understanding of the amount of income that it takes to live and maintain a chosen lifestyle can be a difficult concept for teenagers to grasp. When talking with your child about how they hope to live one day and how their career will (or won’t) allow them to live that way, a wonderful tool to use is called Reality Check. The Reality Check tool can be found on the EducationQuest website, at www.educationquest.org/realitycheck/

On the Reality Check quiz, your child can select the type of housing, transportation, utilities, and other spending that will be essential in his/her future and can easily search for careers that will (or won’t) make that lifestyle possible. Check it out today!
