The program first uses aspects of their life such as turning in homework, test/quiz grades, and chores. Then the results of those activities are filtered through a commission scale where their work and effort will either pay off, or dig them a hole.The (fake) money teenagers make is used to earn things they enjoy, but they will have to think before spending. Teen-Up has fake bills to pay each week based on the average cost of the real ones. Does your teen know about budgeting? Only one way to find out.Will your teen be able to succeed as an adult?
