An estimated 100 Milton High School students were given a career, starting salary and a complete budget worksheet. Students were required to live within their monthly salary while paying for basics such as housing, utilities, food, transportation, clothing, entertainment, and more. The Financial Reality Fair is intended to show students some of the financial choices and challenges they will face when they start life on their own. Throughout the fair there are temptations for additional spending, requiring the students to learn to balance their wants and needs. This is the Credit Union’s second Financial Reality Fair this year. Vermont Federal Credit Union is a $900 million-plus full-service, not-for-profit, cooperative financial institution that has served Vermonters for more than 70 years, with eight locations currently serving over 50,000 members. Members are part of a cooperative, meaning they share ownership in the Credit Union and elect a volunteer board of directors. Vermont Federal Credit Union provides membership to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in all of Vermont. Vermont Federal Credit Union is committed to supporting its communities and helping Vermonters prosper, no matter where they may be on life’s journey. [Learn more about Vermont Federal Credit Union.](https://www.vermontfederal.org/)  ![financial-reality-fair](https://www.vermontfederal.org/hs-fs/hubfs/images/news/financial-reality-fair.png?width=427&name=financial-reality-fair.png) Left to Right: Amanda Reid, Kevin Parish, Myles Schulze, Kim Poirier, & Mark Antell.
