On
My Own is a youth financial education program provided by the Family
and Consumer Sciences department of the University of Tennessee
Extension Service and delivered by University of Tennessee Extension
agents and classroom teachers trained to deliver the program.
The On My Own program is an interactive financial simulation designed
for youth ages 13-18. During the simulation, students become the major
income provider for their household which may include a spouse and/or
children. Using a hypothetical occupation and income, students work
through a month of expenses including housing, utilities,
transportation, insurance, food, child care, clothing, entertainment and
other expenses resulting from unexpected events.
