Balancing Your Budget

Catalog #: 022-04-0003
Parent Exhibit: Moneyville
Description: Consider economic choices and trade off as you try to balance your monthly household budget using weighted “expense” icons against a “fixed income” weight. Choose from a selection of familiar figures, such as a house to symbolize rent or a grocery bag to symbolize food bills, and place them on a large scale, opposite your income. You may have to make some tough decisions as you “weigh” your choices, trying to meet your “needs” (groceries, housing, clothing, transportation, health care, and education) and your “wants” (vacations, movies, savings, donations, eating out, toys, etc.).
