Give Fellows a worksheet with various activities and costs associated with each and they have to pick 5-6 items they have to pick and can only use the amount given to them to pay for each item. Some of these are things like a phone bill, chic fila meal, their rent, new pair of shoes, transportation. etc. Then share out how they created their budget and also give them certain parameters they could only choose from. So they need to choose from each category
