■ Visiting Class Content: "Life Produce" ~ Strategy to Achieve a Life True to Yourself ~
This program aims to have students experience a virtual life through a card game developed by our company, learning the importance of planning and preparation for the future. Earning money is not the goal; instead, it aims for the realization of "things you want to achieve" while using limited money and time.
The target audience is expected to be elementary (upper grades), junior high, and high school students, and it can be utilized in integrated/exploratory studies, career education, and financial education classes.

■ Impressions from Students Who Took the Visiting Class *Excerpts
1. Impressions of playing the game
- Knowing what events happen in life beforehand allowed me to cleanly use up both time and money.
- It was good to aim for whether I enjoyed life, rather than aiming to get a lot of money.
- I was glad my score went up by 1 point. But since you can't start life over from scratch, it's important to think before you act.
- I realized I have to use time carefully because it is limited.
- I got a higher score the second time than the first time, so I think I was able to use my head.
2. Advice to your adult self based on what you learned in the game
- Keeping balance is important! Otherwise, you can't survive.
- You should value your experiences and family. Insurance is very important to live with peace of mind.
- I thought it was important to have time just for myself, not just for everyone else.
- If you only do what you like, you'll quickly run out of time, so think and act.
- You never know what will happen in life; you can increase money, but you cannot increase time.
By promoting essential financial education and enlightening life planning even to younger generations who still rarely think about money, we hope to help them be able to use the necessary money at the required timing when they become adults, and to not give up on their ideal lives.
