BOM Bank had a blast participating in the Holy Savior Menard Game of Life! BOM’s Mandy Futrell, Leah Verheyden, and Daniel Lonsberry had the opportunity to work alongside students for a day filled with real-life scenarios — including real estate decisions, banking basics, understanding credit scores, transportation costs, budgeting, and more. Events like the Game of Life are so important because they give students hands-on experience managing money before they enter the real world. Financial literacy empowers young people to make informed decisions, avoid common financial pitfalls, understand the importance of credit, and build strong financial habits early.

 

At BOM Bank, we believe financial education is one of the most valuable investments we can make in our communities. When students understand budgeting, saving, borrowing, and credit responsibility, they are better prepared for long-term success. We are proud to support programs that help equip the next generation with the knowledge and confidence to navigate their financial future.
