I participated in a volunteer event at a high school a few years where the students were assigned jobs, children, bills, etc and their exercise was to take their "monthly income" and go spend it.

Many did pretty good when it came to paying their bills first but some ran out of money fast. lol I rememer one had to sell his car because he couldn't pay his rent or daycare bill.

We hada class in High school called “Adult Living” where we did the same thing. Even one of the local grocery stores participated and we really shopped with our fake money, it was very eye opening when I was 15 to know really how far what sounded like a big bunch of money really went!
