Class Details

How do you build wealth when the world is designed to make you spend? Students will navigate the "real-world" economy by managing a digital budget, tackling the math behind paycheck taxes, and seeing firsthand how credit card interest can spiral out of control. Beyond just avoiding debt, you'll compete in a simulated stock market to see how compound interest and strategic investing can grow a small savings into a major portfolio. This two-part class offers a fast-paced look at how to master your money before your first paycheck even arrives.
