  Today, we reviewed money management, pay stubs, and volunteering. We need to pay our bills before we go bowling. Pay stubs include gross and net earnings. We wish our paychecks were the gross earnings! Volunteering helps build relationships that could lead to a job. We rehearsed our slide presentation. We are ready to celebrate our success tomorrow.
