The public education arena, particularly in inner-city schools, is experiencing a profound metamorphosis, hastened by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The human race is about to go through the biggest paradigm shift it has ever seen as A.I. and new technologies progress. Yes, it will create new opportunities, BUT, it will also displace hundreds of millions of people. When automation took over factories, blue-collar towns disappeared from the map! Although there’s no silver bullet to protecting your financial future, budgeting is the best weapon we have to set up a strong foundation. Despite 53% of people saying budgeting is the most valuable money lesson they’ve learned according to Empower’s recent survey, SCHOOLS ARE NOT TEACHING THIS CRITICAL SKILL… Why? I don’t know but we decided to do it through our platform with Kent State students. From a short entertaining video, to applying their knowledge with our proprietary toolkit, to then engaging with companies that helped them go even further we were able to increase student’s confidence in budgeting by 42% ! What was really rewarding was having a student provide feedback to how helpful this was to understanding what she could afford and prepare as she started to look for off-campus housing. We've started to provide some of our tools to our higher ed champions - if you are in the educational space or have a company that can help college students feel free to send us a message. #college #collegestudents #lifeliteracy #financialliteracy #budgeting #moneymanagement #personalfinance
