Real Money. Real World. is fun and distinctive because it included an interactive spending simulation ideally suited for youth ages 13-16 that provides the opportunity to make lifestyle and budget choices similar to those made by 27-year-old adults. As a program of Ohio State University Extension, the most preferred and successful RMRW programs are partnerships of the county OSU Extension Office, the school, and the business community.

We kicked off the 2026 season with Wauseon High School in November. While we are still in the process of scheduling these programs with the Fulton County Schools, here is a list of scheduled simulation dates thus far:

               Pettisville High School: February 18, 2026 – Afternoon

               Fayette High School: March 10, 2026 - Morning

               Swanton High School: March 24, 2026 - Afternoon

               Archbold High School: May 7, 2026 - Morning

               Evergreen High School: May 8, 2026 - Morning
