Teaching Real-Life Finances to Teens and Young Adults

Hello Subaru of Valencia partnered with a local Santa Clarita charity JCI. JCI is a non-profit organization that inspires young citizens between 18-40 years old and dedicates their time to creating positive changes in their communities. Subaru Valencia has worked with them multiple times, and seeing their work in giving back in the Santa Clarita area is always inspiring. Hello was thrilled to participate in and sponsor Get Real Adulting 101. In this event, local businesses teens about the financial responsibility that adults face after high school in a creative in-person game. They educate our young adult community members on how much their living expenses will cost and how much they will need to earn to pay for those things. Very similar to the game of LIFE, the board game! Teaching financial responsibility to young adults is crucial in preparing them for the real world. Events like Get Real Adulting 101 provide a fun and interactive way to do so. Each booth represented different financial responsibilities such as housing, car, food, transportation, and family. Hello Subaru had two members at the transportation booth educating on the process of buying a vehicle, like interest rates, down payments, and the value of having a good credit score when applying for a car loan. This event will give teens and young adults a sample experience of managing a budget while having fun! Hello Subaru of Valencia is proud to know they can help educate the young teens and adults in our community so that when they are ready to buy a vehicle, they will have an idea of what to expect.
