High School Seniors In Henry County/Martinsville Learn Real World Is Expensive

An eye-opening lesson for high school seniors in the Henry County/Martinsville area. They're learning the real world is expensive.
The United Way hosted a money management fair Wednesday at Patrick Henry Community College called "Dollars and Sense." Volunteers gave each student a job, a salary, and a slew of every day expenses that come with it.
Along with a car note and food, students also found out how quickly money disappears when you have to pay for health and car insurance, furniture, and those unexpected items that pop up.
