Lessons
The time value of money isn't about how much you have; it's about how long you let it grow. This lesson explores compounding, inflation, and the Rule of 72 to show why starting early beats saving more.
Investing options fall into two general categories: lending money and owning companies. This lesson explores the core investment vehicles (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and index funds) and the risk-reward tradeoff that ties them together.
Chasing the biggest payout often means accepting the biggest chance of losing it all. This lesson explores risk tolerance, the risk-reward relationship, and why our brains make calm investing so hard.
Owning one hot stock isn't investing; it's gambling with extra steps. This lesson explores diversification, mutual funds, and market cycles so students can build wealth without betting it all on a single basket.
