You may also choose to increase spending in areas that you think are being shortchanged under 1995 budget priorities. The simulation should give you a better feel of the trade-offs which citizens and policy makers would need to make to balance the budget.

The program is primarily used by students in grades 4 through 12, post-secondary students, and others who want to learn more about investing and managing their financial future. Over the course of 10 weeks, participants invest a hypothetical $100,000 in Nasdaq, Amex, and NYSE-listed common stocks. They research stocks, study how the financial markets work, choose their portfolios, manage budgets, follow companies in the news, and make decisions on whether to buy, sell, or hold. They can compare their portfolios' performance to peers on a weekly basis.
