H And R Block Budget Challenge – Since Budget Challenge is a competition, the class rank for each student will be updated nightly and displayed on the class Leaderboard throughout the duration of the simulation.
Students can earn points toward their score by saving in their 401k, realizing investment gains in their 401k, taking quizzes/surveys, and earning interest in checking accounts. Students can control the amount of savings that go into their 401k by adjusting the 401k contribution percent of future paychecks. Each student will start with the same starting score of 1,000.
