Stand in our way

1
Scarcity of Financial Education

There is both a void of effective material and a lack of trained educators. This prevents the vast majority from learning the financial concepts and strategies they need to know.

Only 21 out of 50 states require high schools to teach at least one class in personal finance.

The Financial Industry Itself

A financially illiterate society is easily taken advantage of by those who know how to leverage the ignorance and foolishness of others to construct their own wealth.

The average American adult spends more than $5,000 on unnecessary items each year—like lottery tickets, lattes, and fast food—and over half of them have less than $1,000 in a savings account.

To combat these two forces,
We're building an army of

Educators

Yes, we use the term “army” because we need boots on the ground. But make no mistake—it’s also because our mission is a battle to help the little guy win against a powerful industry that very often puts itself first.

Education System

We evaluated every qualified financial literacy program available. We found that not a single education system on the market today met the list of criteria necessary to effectively educate the public on a wide scale.

So we created our own.

HowMoneyWorks® meets 100% of our financial literacy criteria:

  • Engagement

    Visuals, storytelling, and humor are used to help capture and hold the attention of a non-financial audience.

  • Discovery

    Bite-sized content widgets invite the audience to switch between reading, viewing, listening, and interacting.

  • Clarity & Simplicity

    Concepts and principles are highly accessible, explained at a 5th grade level using a linear, straightforward approach.

  • Up-to-Date

    Fundamental principles are applied using strategies that are current and effective in todayʼs world and economy.

  • Honesty

    The material deals with the topics of consumer responsibility, the cost of financial ignorance, and the threats from a shrewd industry.

  • Strategy

    The program provides a practical, step-by-step action plan to achieve financial security and independence.
