What does your teen's financial future look like?
Don't let them learn about money the hard way
We are different. Our fun, interactive one-semester class lets teens simulate ages 22-42 with real choices & real budgets.

What does your teen's financial future look like?
We are different. Our fun, interactive one-semester class lets teens simulate ages 22-42 with real choices & real budgets.
Teens won't learn to make wise money choices by reading a book or listening to lectures. Mastery takes hands-on experience.
So we put the teen in the driver's seat of age 22-42 and let them simulate their future life by making choices like career, car, apartment, spouse, house, investments, and more all while creating budgets to see how those choices will impact their financial picture.
This is the class your teen will talk about for the rest of their lives.
Self-paced students will receive access to the online content within 24 hours, Student Workbooks arrive within a week. Live class students will also have access to the online content and will receive the Student Workbook on the first day of class.
Take a look at one of the lessons your student will experience in our self-paced class.
Not only does this class teach the fundamentals of a financial literacy class, but the student will get a chance to apply those fundamentals to their own budgets.
Other personal finance courses and books tell the student about adult choices but guides them to practice using their birthday or part-time job money. In order to learn, your student needs to practice making adult choices with adult-sized dollars. This curriculum lets them do that.
Your student will not just hear a series of lectures like other financial literacy classes. They will engage in the material by making personal budget choices in a way that leads to a heart change.
A wise teen making smarter choices.
A grateful teen willing to discuss the future.
A prepared teen on the path to financial independence.
Listen as one teen describes her change of attitude when it comes to spending money.
This mom talks about the change she saw in how her family discussed money and the future.
This teen was not excited when his mom signed him up for a personal finance class. He changed his tune fast.

"Beyond Personal Finance is a clever approach to teaching about finances. It goes further into the details of personal financial planning and decision making than do most other high school courses, and it presents scenarios that are based on common life experiences and decisions. Teens are likely to find this very interesting. The decision choices and plot twists used in the course make it more fun while reflecting the variability and unpredictability of real life."

" While the Dave Ramsey course is excellent, it is really designed for adults who are in financial trouble and need a way out of that trouble. Most high school kids have a difficult time understanding what that could look like. Money is, after all, something most of them don’t have much of, think much about or struggle with. A benefit of Middle-class America is that our kids have their needs met and a good portion of their wants provided for, too. As a result, most teens have an abstract rather than concrete understanding of money. As one of the students in my high school class said, “Bills? I don’t have any.”And that is exactly why Charla wrote this course. To give kids an idea of what kind of money questions and issues they will face as young adults and how to plan for, manage and think about the monkey wrenches that life continually throws in the way of all everyone out there 'adulting'."
Beyond Personal Finance is an outstanding product. As an adult, I wish I would have had real-life training through an enjoyable course like this.

Beyond Personal Finance is an outstanding product. As an adult, I wish I would have had real-life training through an enjoyable course like this. What drew me into choosing it for my child is the unique aspect of offering students opportunities to make choices and see consequences. This is done in a virtual "game of life" type format. For example, the student chooses a career and researches it to learn what education or training is required, what the job outlook is, how much it pays, and what will be expected in a typical day's work.
