Our Why?
From 1979-2019, income inequality IN THE UNited states grew by 25% which equated to 69% of the Total wealth being owned by the Top 10%. In short, the rich are getting richer while those in the lower and middle classes are becoming poorer. We are changing that through youth-based financial literacy education.

We believe the compound interest calculator is one of the most underutilized tools in education. For example, money earns roughly 0.5% interest yearly in a bank savings account vs roughly 10% interest yearly on average if buying an ETF for the S&P 500 in the stock market. Use this calculator to see how saving vs investing plays out over 10 years compared to 25 or 50 years. You'll be blown away. Einstein called Compound Interest the 8th wonder of the world.
