Dollars & Sense: Housing

A Financial Literacy Software Simulation

Teach your students how to make positive financial decisions to live in the real world.

Overview

Dollars & Sense: Housing is part of the Dollars & Sense: The Lifestyle Series. In this simulation, your students will learn what it takes to buy a home of their own. They’ll actually view the available properties to see what they like and what fits their budget.

They’ll compare financing at four financial institutions and shop for homeowner’s insurance coverage. When they’ve made their choices, they’ll close the deal by signing the sales contract and the mortgage. They can print out a financial summary to turn in.
