For its second year of A+ orientation, MCC-Maple Woods partnered with Community America Credit Union to provide more than just basic college info - much of the presentation focused on money matters and how to budget for life after high school.KMBC's Donna Pitman was on site, finding out how students were using the information to make smart decisions regarding lifestyle choices, loan obligations and even preparations for the unforseen circumstances life can throw in. Among the surprising finds, a couple girls who had everything figured out but no leftover cash at the end of the month, and a guy with a decent sum leftover, but only $5 budgeted for clothes and personal grooming.
