The problem

We teach algebra, chemistry, and history. But not how to read a paycheck, pick health insurance, or avoid debt traps.

Young people enter the workforce making $40K decisions with zero financial training. They sign leases, accept benefits packages, and open credit cards without understanding what any of it means. The cost isn't theoretical. It compounds for decades.

What you'll learn

Real decisions, not textbook definitions
