The program is in its fourth year at the school and is sponsored by the Bank of Ocean City. EverFi underscores the need for young adults entering the 21st Century economy to truly understand what goes into their personal finances.
“I know a lot of people who just want to sign a piece of paper and they don’t understand insurance or home equity and now I feel like I know what all that means.” said Decatur senior Erin Smith.
EverFi offers students “The Sims” style online program that simulates all the big financial choices a person could make in their life. Topics range from getting their first checking and savings accounts to purchasing a car and a house, while covering resume preparation and the potential pitfalls of credit. Eventually, students find themselves virtually walking onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to learn about investing.

Yes because they were talking about resumes, bank accounts and being responsible. The others ain't got time for that.
