About Teen Money Lab

A free project with one goal: make personal finance practical, approachable, and actually useful — starting from your first paycheck.

Why this exists

Schools teach algebra, chemistry, and history — but not money, even though every student will need it. I built Teen Money Lab to fill that gap.

Every lesson pairs a short explanation with a tool you can actually play with, because numbers you move yourself stick better than numbers you read.

How to use it

Work through the four parts in order — Earn, Save, Invest, Protect — or jump to whatever you’re curious about. Each lesson ends with a quick check, and the Money Quiz brings it all together.

For learning, not financial advice. Before making real money moves, talk to a parent, teacher, or trusted adult.
