For example they receive their first pay check what should they do with it? Option a)Cash it b)Open a checking and deposit it c)Open a checking and a savings and deposit a little in both. Later in life they may be asked a question like: You just received a bonus at work, what are you going to do with it? a)Deposit it, b)pay off loan c)spend it d)put it into your 401k plan. Each decision with then have instructions to move in a certain direction. Along the path there will be obstacles, etc.
