Where it all lands
Forty-seven years of choices, summed up on one page. It's the moment students see what all those small decisions added up to.
Sample numbers. Every student's story is different.
A lot of free financial literacy material is either dry or a flashy one-off calculator. MFL is built to hold a class for weeks.
A best friend who always has a fun, expensive idea. A spouse with opinions. Kids who grow up and need cars. The money matters because the people do.
Loans, interest, insurance, taxes, investing, and retirement are calculated from each student's own decisions, not canned outcomes.
Random life events and branching choices mean two students in the same class rarely end up in the same place. That makes for great discussion.
Classroom mode keeps everyone on the same timeline for whole-class pacing. Individual mode adds more variety for homeschool and independent play.
Built for school laptops and tablets, and district privacy rules, from day one.
Nobody signs up. There are no usernames, emails, or passwords to manage.
Progress saves on the student's own device. Nothing is sent to us.
