In my classroom, I use a class economy to "pay" students for completing their job (aka math work). They can then use this money to purchase fun things, retries on work that didn't go so well, and also to pay the monthly bills that occur during class (internet and seat fees) to give them a taste of real-life math and money as they finish middle school. Students receive a personal credit card from me to use to make their purchases and have an online banking register that they are responsible for completing to show an accurate balance of how much money they currently have. The mailboxes allow me to organize their bills and other fun parts of the class, to make it feel a little more real life.
