"At 91¿´Æ¬, we believe it is very important for students to learn about financial literacy and to avoid

making costly mistakes early in life. The simulation event is a fun way for them to get some insight into the cost of living," Linda Forest, 91¿´Æ¬ Financial Literacy Coach, said. "We are very appreciative to East Texas Professional Credit Union for sponsoring and to all of the college employees who volunteered to make the event a success."
