The South Carolina Telco Federal Credit Union gave seniors a glimpse of reality on January 18th. The Reality Fair, coordinated by the Credit Union, allowed seniors the chance to see if they could afford to pay their bills and other expenses. A survey was given to seniors prior to the event which asked them to choose a career. Based on their career choice, seniors were assigned a salary. Additionally, they were given a credit score, student loan debt and credit card debt. At the fair, seniors were asked to choose housing, automobile choices, and other necessities for life. The goal was to teach them how to live within their means. Mostly all the seniors succeeded.
