The Game of Real Life ("The Game") is a 100-hour financial, career, and college planning curriculum for high school students.
Students simulate real life sitations and are asked to make life changing decisions. As part of The Game, students interview
for jobs. They are trained by real business professionals. The students then ”age” from 19 to
26 in one hour intervals as they work, pay bills, buy homes, cars, insurance, and manage life events like college, debt,
medical claims and car accidents. The GAME allows students to step into their future and understand the actions they
need to take to achieve their goals.
Skills For Living is a Houston non-profit. The Game is sponsored by generous foundations, organizations, and individuals
such as The Simmons Foundation, Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church, Rockwell Fund, Foundation For Financial Planning,
American General, IBC Bank, KPMG, University of Houston, George R Brown Visitor and Convention Center, Panorama
Construction, Xerox and Houston Financial Planning Assn. These donors help make the course affordable by providing
funding for tuition scholarships and volunteers.
