Travis Credit Union hosting youth financial boot camp in July – Vacaville Reporter

If you are between the ages of 12 and 18, adulthood is just around the corner. That means learning about financial independence and all the things that come with it.

Travis Credit Union can help with that. Its popular Mad City Money boot camp returns to the Vacaville headquarters building July 15 to teach youth how to have the financial skills that will prepare them for the workforce.

Mad City Money is a three and a half hour simulation that gives young adults the chance to make decisions regarding budgeting, spending and saving in an assigned-life scenario. For example, each participant will be given a temporary identity that includes an occupation, salary, debt, marital status, children and more. The goal is to show the reality of financial responsibilities and equip them with the skills needed to make better financial decisions, according to a TCU news release.

The free event is 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 15 in the TCU Headquarters community room, 1 Travis Way. The event is open to ages 12 to 18.
