Project description:

ReQLes Technology is a web development company that is building a simulator to help young people gain the efficacy of financial life skills.  The web app simulator is called ‘This is Your Life” and is an interactive tool where young people can manipulate data to gain efficacy of financial subjects they will utilize throughout their lives.  According to Lusardi (2015), financial literacy does not refer simply to knowledge and belief but to also promotes effective decision making.  Additionally, improving overall financial literacy in many areas should be measured while understanding that financial literacy is not only good for the individual but society as a whole. While schools encourage reading, writing, and science, abstaining from teaching financial literacy challenges young people’s ability to function within society. Prospective users of the application are middle and high school students that are interested in learning more about the financial challenges they will be faced with as they get older. The mission of ReQLes Technology is to improve the efficacy of young adults’ understanding of financial skills by creating a fun and informative simulator called “This is Your Life”.
